David points out that our top ITF ranked junior at end-2021 does not have her own thread, which doesn't seem quite right, so here goes.

Ranah Stoiber is born 2005. 

David posted an excellent interview link:

https://tennishead.net/emma-raducanu-inspires-me-reveals-top-british-talent-ranah-stoiber/ 

I've seen Ranah and thoroughly enjoyed watching her play - she played a stellar match against Kylie in the nationals in 2021. 

Huge whip and natural acceleration through the ball, quite unusual, natural acceleration, they come out of nowhere, hardly any wind up, needs excellent timing and strength of wrist and forearm, and makes it very difficult to predict the direction. 

Also, a very nice story, as per sponsors thread, about French Connection boss (Stephen Marks) being her sponsor as the family, according to the Daily Telegraph press report, is four siblings and a single mother.

So, Ranah Stoiber (born 2005) beat Freya Christie (WTA 670) in the Premier British Tour event at Loughborough) in the QFs, and defeated Emma Wilson in the final, 6-3 6-4

That gives her a MD WC into one of the 4 25ks coming up (sure she'd have get some wildcards anyway, but this guarantees one and frees up a slot for someone else)

From memory I think she may have won a couple of matches at junior Wimbledon this year ?. Anyway, good luck to her this year and going forward.

So, this is Ranah's week

The girl has beaten Elsa Jacquemot WT 174 and top Q seed, and Naiktha Bains WR 357, at Ilkley 100k, to make the main draw.

And today she won her first round, in two sets, against Loeb

And she did it in style, with some amazing aggressive serving. Certainly making a statement !

R1: STOIBER, Ranah Akua (GBR) Q UNR =CH {17yo JCH=34} def. LOEB, Jamie (USA) 209 (CH=120 2018) 7-6(5) 6-3

WTA 986 - NEW IN - Ranah Stoiber (2005)

In the US Junior Open 2022, Ranah was our best performer in singles, making the QF, beating the Junior Wimbledon champion, Liv Hovde, seeded three.

This is particularly amazing, given she was diagnosed with a "small fracture" in her back only a couple of months ago, which stopped her playing at junior Wimbly and meant she couldn't train at all until two weeks before the US Open started.

Ranah and Kupres (CAN) also made the quarters of the doubles.

She is JWR 14

I watched Ranah in junior Wimbledon this year and really liked her game. Isnt the most conventional and I think it might take her some time to get up to her best ranking.

Exciting times for her in 2024.

Ranah has withdrawn from all events in March

After a good start to the year (semi-final in the W35 in Loughborough), it's all been a real struggle since then

She's obviously injured - wishing her a speedy recovery

It looks as though Ranah has been injured again this summer. See she is playing in Tunisia but anyone have any update on her?

 No, she's not in Tunisia. She was training with Ella and Hannah today at, I think, the LTA, Roehampton. All three are playing Shrewsbury next week.

(Were you thinking of Isabelle, who is in Tunisia ?)

I read it to mean 'I see she's been playing in Tunisia' as in she played two event there very recently
