R2:

Mika (2008) carries on her amazing run of unbeaten matches, now winning here, over the sixth seed.

Arabella (2008) lost

But Abby Kelliher (2007) also won, beating the fifth seed

And Hannah Read put out the top seed in two easy sets; but Hannah is 2006-born and I'd always thought she would be rather higher up the ranks by this time in her tennis career... However, maybe this is the time it all comes together

The boys are still to play....

ANd we continue to have this event pretty much wrapped up in the girls

In the QFs, Mika beat the 2nd seed, Abby beat the 3rd and Hannah Read beat the 7th seed

In the SFs, Abby plays Mika, and Hannah plays a Norwegian girl

Abby and Dani Piani lost in the dubs SF, as did Oliver Hague and partner

Abby K beat Mika surprisingly easily (1 & 0) in the semis

Hannah Read also won her semi with no problem

So it's Abby v Hannah for the title tomorrow

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Hannah Read (2006) def. Abby Kelliher (2007) 6-1 1-6 6-1

This is Hannah's best result ever for her current counters (she has two previous titles at J5 level in the UK)

Will give her a nice boost, and hopefully be the start of a more significant improvement - she has/had a very nice game and it would be great to see her really move up a level
