Week 25 - ITF W100 - Ilkley, Great Britain Grass


I think let Hannah be for now, Im sure her team have it under control, she is probably going through a lot, shes a hugely talented youngster and now shes being talked about it - shes probably becoming aware of just how good she could be. I imagine this is now putting pressure on her, expecting wins against top 200 opponents (love this attitude) so if she bangs a racquet, so be it. I trust it will all settle down.

 I think what Lambda was saying is that there is nothing to settle down

That's the whole point - there was nothing

I checked with someone I know up there and, from what he saw, this was not to do with racket abuse, it was to do with it being a grass court (and the same applies to clay) 

Players bangs their rackets on hard courts and (assuming they don't pulverise the racket) that's absolutely fine

But umpires on grass courts and clay courts are more protective of their courts - and rightly so - because it can damage the court, even a little tap (I saw a French guy at Wimbly qualis take a whole divot out of the court - I'd have disqualified him) 

So players need reminding that it's not a hard court, be careful about banging the racket

There was no bad behaviour here, nothing to be reprimanded, nothing that needs her team to be aware, or requires guideance. Just a reminder that it's not a hard court.

Looks like, if they are patient and can get the covered courts ready for play reasonably quickly, they'll get 4-5 hours of outdoor play from mid-afternoon.

Lot of hanging about though!

 Agree. Goodness, she is so young; if she is going to be feisty, maybe her style - not everyone can be ice cool.

Bolsova eventually found her range and went from looking miserable to playing consistently. Bolsova now 5-0 up final set and still playing only clay court tennis style.

Big win indeed. Disappointing for Lily. Didn't expect her to win but having been a set and a double break up...
