Week 23 - WTA250 - Nottingham, UK Grass

jb288 · Satellite level

Katie trying to hit winners off serves before she's found any kind of length... Groundstrokes breaking down very quickly on both sides at the minute, and serve not firing. Broken for 2-4.

Katie B - a player in need of of a good coach and a clear direction before time passes her by?

She has the basic ability to be more consistent and generally doing better.

seagull · Hall of fame

Well Jeremy Bates is never going to be the answer

Barefoot · Lower Club Player

No he is not.

Katie B should be our number 2 but she needs direction and to stop playing a part time schedule (which I appreciate is not out of choice in most cases!)

Fabulous win by Harriet smile

His public persona seems to carry such a negative energy, whenever I've seen him in action, but I don't know Jeremy at all, so I may be being unfair

dodrade · Futures qualifying

Great result for Harriet after a horrid clay court season and disappointment in Surbiton.

If Jeremy Bates is ever the answer then the question can never be about good tennis.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Sam played really well but she bottled an easy overhead on SP and left it to her partner at the last minute, which was a mistake...

But then did a lovely reflex volley to set up the next SP, which they took

One set all.......

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Such a tight tie-break - but Sam and Viv had the match points - couldn't take two of them - but Sam sliced a wonderful shot down the line to take the net player by surprise and hit a clean winner

Brilliant win !

Yay, nip and tuck but they got there and Sam played some great passing shots in the MTB.

Murray Sharan & Heisen win 3-6 7-6(6) [12-10] and are into the SF.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

1 more win for Sam to take the top doubles spot (which may become hers anyway, depending on how Tara's situation develops).
