QFs

(6) Ruby Cooling def. (1) Nao (JPN)
Hannah Rylatt def. (SE) Amelie Brooks
(8) Dani Piani def. (4) Given Roach
Hannah Read def. (5) Morane (BEL)



SFs:

Ruby Cooling v Hannah Rylatt
Dani Piani v Hannah Read

Ruby and Dani are age 15; the two Hannahs are age 16

Dani and Hannah R are on a good run of form

Very pleased that two of our best 2007-ers have made the girls' final (and both winning their semis in two sets)

I really enjoyed watching Ruby at the National Championships this year, in April, and commented on her qualities, as one to follow, she was way more interesting than some of the better known names

With Hep and Mimi leading the way, we have an excellent 2007 cohort

Interestingly, although both Dani and Ruby are very similarly ranked, their points profiles are completely different

Ruby has all her points from top-ranking events, J1s, 2s and 3s

Obviously, this is mainly losses quite early one (or else she'd be a lot higher ranked) - there's one SF and a couple of QFs there.

Daniela has most of her points from J4s and even a J5

As such, she's a far better record at the business end of the events - two titles, a RU place.....

Good luck to both of them in the final
