Lauryn comes from the East End of London and is a junior I saw play quite a bit (because she was London-based)

A good athlete, a well-rounded game, good ball skills - a lot better than many of her cohort and (IMO) always in the 'interesting' group, if not in a 'stand-out' group.  

She managed to get herself a WTA ranking (of 1067) when still a junior, and to about 200 in juniors itself. 

Her college coach makes a lot of sense when he talks about how he's helped her a lot with tactics etc. 

And this year she's back playing ITF events, after 4 years or so break.

Won a doubles title. 

Made the QF In Greece (losing in the third-set MTB)

And yesterday won her R1 match at the 25k in Bath over a Danish player ranked WTA 460.

Her 2 successive Nottingham W25 QFs ( and still going this week ) will give her a WTA singles ranking back on Monday and see her into the top 900 in the following rankings on 22/05.

 That's great news. And what with Tiffany, and Dani Daley, and Abi Amos (to be confirmed), all now breaking into the top 1000, and Kristina P back again, I think, the lower level there is looking a lot more healthy.

Also really good to see several black players in that group doing well. And in our junior girls too. It's not relevant in and of itself, but it is great for the sport and for the next generation.
