was switching between the two semis, But drawn to the Isabelle v Hannah match, great battle between the girls. Some very long rallies, very impressed with Hannahs defensive skills and for a girl just turned 13 shes Incredibly athletic and strong. Very exciting prospect . Looking forward to the final tomorrow to see if Hannah has worked her out her strategy to beat Mimi. Shes got a record of winning versus players she previously lost to with her almost chess like approach to the game.
Yep, I'm going for Hannah too.
As before, she's it a point to prove, something to play for.
Mimi has looked a tad flat this week, compared with last (although still playing very well, of course)
By the way, a question, please, for the rules guys:
I noticed in the U18s too and forgot to post, but I see that the juniors here are now playing lets on serves, like the adults.
A year or two ago, juniors had abandoned lets, hadn't they? And played the serve whatever.
What's the actual rule now? For ITFs? For domestic junior events?
Many thanks
I have watched bits of quite a few junior ITFs and TE matches this year and they all used no let - just as well as the junior ITF rules clearly state "For all singles and doubles matches the No Let Rule shall be in effect." The LTA do not have to use international rules, and clearly haven't for the nationals (don't know if that applies to all domestic junior tournaments)
