Week 24 - ITF W100 - Ilkley, Great Britain Grass

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I can imagine that PaulM continues to be very 'meh' towards Tessah who, as 8th seed, lost to the Lao, the US qualifier

PaulM · Tennis legend

Haha yes! Although I do quite like Lao's game, it's fun and works well on grass.

After a break each way early in the final set Lily has just had a couple of BPs after coming back from 4-3* 40-0 but Kiki held.

*4-4

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, Lily wins it 6-4 biggrin

PaulM · Tennis legend

Wow! Another great win. I've been so so impressed by Lily these past few weeks, she's progressing really nicely and a super advert for the benefits of the US college system!

Sonay up a break too 5-2*

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I missed the last bit but was pretty confident that Kiki would blow it

So pleased for Lily - as people say, she's been a pleasure to watch these past few weeks

Tennisdad_101 · Lower Club Player

really impressed with Lily, both her attitude and her tennis. a good role model for the younger ones coming through. Hopefully a continued sign of improvements for British womens tennis. I

Impressed by Sonya. Great serve and movement. Serving for the match.

Canda · Lower Club Player

Dohh. Sonay.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Sonay serving for the match after missed match points at 5-3*

Mimi down a break (she should have broken back to be honest), but giving it a good go. *1-2

Canda · Lower Club Player

Missed opportunity to serve it out. Hartono has upped her serve speed and it seemed to catch Sonay out. Now serving at 5-6 to stay in the set

PaulM · Tennis legend

That was a grim tiebreak from Sonay unfortunately.

6-3 6-7(1) *0-0

Priesty · Challenger level

And Sonay now a set all having lost the tie break....

PaulM · Tennis legend

Mimi had *30-0 30-0* *40-15 and 15-40*, but lost all 4 of those games to drop the set 6-2.

Potential is so obvious, hope she gets properly nurtured over the next 4-5 years so she really loves the sports and wants to maximise what she can do.
