Boys & Girls: J4 Stirling, GB - hard (Week 48)


The first thing that jumped out at me from the acceptance lists here was the name of Tamara Kuti, ranked 1183, age 15.

Not that I'd ever heard of Tamara, which was the point .... who she? smile

From a little research, she was playing for Germany up until recently (but probably based here)

So I'm figuring that she's changed tennis nationality

In which case, welcome to the GB player list, Tamara ! 

 

Qualis gets going tomorrow, with Hannah Read, Erin Pearce, Dani Piani and Mia Wainwright as the top 4 seeds in the girls

And a Swiss and a Greek, followed by Kyle McKay and Charlie Robertson, as the top 4 in the boys

Tamara Kuti is indeed British, with a German parent, and has played for Herts. Very good player, athletic.

The boys SFs are:

Charlie Robertson v Conor Brady
Kyle McKay v Henry

Special shout out to Conor, who's only 15, and the youngest in the QFs, not to mention the SFs.

This is also his best result to date.

Charlie continues to show fine form, though

(Charlie is the Scottish lad (from Forfar - where that?) whose parents sold their business, to try and support his tennis, because the LTA were not at all forthcoming, seemingly)

Thanks CD. Definitely good reason to give Charlie a bit of an extra cheer. Hope he continues to do well.

All pretty one-sided QFs

Little fave, Dani P, who beat Lucia Cassidy very easily in R1, carries on very smoothly.
Hannah Read who - as mentioned before - was SO promising as a U12/U14 and then - don't know why (injury? life?whatever....) - seemed to go onto the back burner for a while is cruising too
Erin Pearce whose name has come up recently as a real propsect is doing very well too
As is Hannah Rylatt

A shout-out indeed to Stirling Academy - since Noelle Van Lottum has joined, I'm sure the results there are just getting better and better...

Daniela Piani (2007) v Hannah Rylatt (2006)
Erin Pearce (2006) v Hannah Read (2006)

Well, I'm pleased as my two faves made the final in the girls:

FINAL: Daniela Piani (2007) v Hannah Read (2006)

I would expect Hannah to have a bit too much for Dani......


It's an all-Brit final in the boys too:

FINAL: Charlie Robertson (2006) v Kyle McKay (2005)

On form, but not knowing the lads very well, Charlie should be favourite here

Got my prediction for the girls well wrong - but thrilled for little fave Dani

Hannah won the first and looks like she had her chances in the second, it was very close, but Dani snuck the second, and cruised the third (no idea how it 'went down' but it wouldn't be the first time that Hannah collasped when she had things in hand)

FINAL: Daniela Piani (2007) def. Hannah Read (2006) 3-6 7-5 6-1


Charlie, though, did indeed win the boys with no problem:

FINAL: Charlie Robertson (2006) def. Kyle McKay (2005) 6-4 6-1
