Alice wins it 10-8!

Alice did really well to win that.

She had a MP at 9-6 where she thought her opponent's ball was well out and both players were going to the net to shake hands and suddenly the other player realises that the umpire hasn't actually called it out, and it was point to her......

Alice then loses the next point and now it's 9-8...... but luckily Alice held tough and won the next point

Really please for her

SO five of our players beat higher ranked players

And that, LTA-from-5-years-ago, is why you host events

Q2: BROGAN, Anna (GBR) (11) 825 def CHRISTIE, Freya (GBR) (1) 588 6-2 6-3
Q2: WILSON, Emma (GBR) UNR/534 def INOUE, Hina (USA) (4) 604/1010 3-6 6-4 [10-8]
Q2: DALEY, Danielle (GBR) UNR/306 def WIRGES, Angelina (GER) 770/278 7-6(3) 6-0
Q2: CONWAY, Jasmine (GBR) (13) 875 def BELGRAVER, Julie (FRA) (6) 682 6-4 3-6 [10-7]
Q2: GILLAN, Alice (GBR) (12) 845 def KOZAKI, Funa (JPN) (8) 697 1-6 6-4 [10-8]

Well, I am not sure how Alice won that match, she was way behind on percentage of points won on 1st serve, way behind on percentage of points won on 2nd serve, had less break points and broke fewer times but still won.

Doubles draw is out, and from that, presumably looking at MDWCs for Eliz, Lauryn, and Nadia. Talia was a notable omission from qualifying, so probably one for her too. I guess Ranah could be an option too.

Edit - not sure if there are any reward based MDWCs due for this event.

 Nadia wasn't able to play singles qualis but is now well enough for dubs.

Thanks SB, I thought it would be quite surprising her getting a MDWC, but equally strange her playing doubles but not quals, but I didn't know she was ill / injured so that explains it. Maybe, Eliz, Lauryn, Talia and Ranah in that case then. 

Seems pretty late for the draw, it's often out not long after 3pm.

 

there have been some very good results with junior wildcards, Ella, Mimi, Isabelle all getting a maindraw win and Talia getting to a final all in 25k and in their 1st or 2nd events. Disagree also at this level that these 16 year olds may only be playing because their parents want them to. Youve clearly not been around enough of these events or met these players to know how driven they are.
