Girls: J2 Nonthaburi, Thailand, hard (Week 42)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Imogen's first opponent appears to have a modest record so far. In doubles Imogen is seeded 4th with a different partner to last week

R2

Waraporn Muangpho (THA) v (11) Imogen Haddad

DavidC · Tennis legend

Imogen's opponent continued her modest series of results. Imogen comes up against a stronger player next, though Zara Larke was pushed to a 10-8 final set tiebreak today (albeit by a player who won her last Grade 5 event). There was also success today in doubles with a Thai partner.

R2

(11) Imogen Haddad d. Waraporn Muangpho (THA) 6-1 6-1

R3

(5) Zara Larke (AUS) v (11) Imogen Haddad

Strongbow · All-time great

Is J2 enough to move Imogen up. I suppose it must be otherwise she wouldn't be there. Answered my own question wink

Most definitely.
She is only ranked 274 and fo7nd some good opportunities in recent weeks in her tour of Asia.
Lowest conters are 18 singles and 25 doubles, so her ranking may well increase again.

(11) Imogen Haddad (GBR) def. (5) Zara Larke (AUS) 6-0 5-1 ret.

In the doubles, though, it was Imogen and partner who retired (presumably her Thai partner's issue?)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Hopefully the doubles retirement was precautionary - both Imogen and partner are in the quarters. Imogen and her next opponent are the only ones to reach that stage who are not top 8 seeds. The Israeli has won a lot of matches this year, but in relatively weak events.

Imogen seems to be having a good week - as she made it this far in a J2 before? What age bracket is she in?

She is 17 and looking to go to college in US.

It's Imogen and 3 seeded Aussies in the semis. She plays Lily Taylor whose record is the most impressive, given the opposition, of the players she has tackled here (her last junior event was a G1 semi while she reached the quarters of her last $15K event).

SF

(11) Imogen Haddad (GBR) v (2) Lily Taylor (AUS)
