The first set was a struggle for Mimi with some long games on her serve, but despite a couple of double faults she takes the tiebreak 8-6

Hannah R lost 6-1 6-2 against the Roehampton finalist

 Can someone fill me on this player, please? I don't know her name or background Stojsavljevic

 Mika. 2008. Top LTA prospect. Coached by Lewandowski. 

Heard that her parents are dead committed to getting her to be a pro, but don't know how true that is. 

Strong player, tall, great physique for tennis, decent technique, will do well (all a little 'taught' for me but it's maybe a little unfair)

 Not sure Mika is coached by Lewandowski anymore, as she's at the National Academy and was at Reed's before that, but he did have her on the court 2 hours, 3 times a week before school and after, all weekend too, determined to make her a star.  He never put her into many tournaments at all, all hand-picked by him and wildcarded, never really earned previously (I suppose to stop the belief that she could be beaten).  She started at the age of 5 and was picked up by him around aged 6/7 (he's a family friend - her mother is Polish, as is Lewandowski's family). She was never a natural but her parents are determined to make her a pro, like her sister.  

Ranah got herself together from a break down in the third. Well done.

Isa nearly there and playing well.

Hannah absolutey trounced the JWR 12, age 18, and with a WTA ranking of 950 or so

She won 6-2 6-2

Never in any doubt

 Hannah looked so relaxed and really enjoying herself.  She's a class above the rest of our girls and always has been.  I can see her winning the whole thing.

I make it Ella, Mimi, Hannah, Mika, Ranah, Hephzibah, and Isabelle. So seven, with three of them as wildcards.

Yep, looks good   

And also, if you look at age:

2005 - 2

2006 - 1

2007 - 2

2008 - 1

2009 -1

So a pretty young group  

Unlucky for Hep that, as 9vicman mentioned earlier, her reward for beating a seed is a match against someone who is stronger than most of the seeds, certainly in terms of WTA ranking, who we saw beating Hannah in a top-class match earlier in the year.
