She's also into the SFs of the doubles

Isabella Gibons lost



J60 Ghana

R1 loss for James Hutchinson

Top 10-12 Cat. 1 event at Bressuire

Just to note that, as well as Megan's win, Dasha Jones also got a hard fought win, 7-5 in the third, and has also made the QFs

Dasha, like quite a lot of youngsters, is one of the TennisFirst grantees, but I don't know anything else about her

Top 10-12 Cat. 1 event at Bressuire

Megan lost 7-6(7) 6-4 against a 2012-born girl from Estonia, Elizaveta ANIKINA, who's been making a lot of waves, in the ultra junior tennis end of the spectrum. Good effort but she'll be disappointed, I expect.

However, GB's Dasha Jones - who I think may also be born in 2012 - thrashed her French opponent who has a national ranking of 15 (not 15th) which is pretty respectable for her age.

Dasha won 0 & 3 and is now into the QFs. Great showing.

Although she'll now play Darina MATVEJEVA who has played three matches and lost precisely ZERO games. Darina, from Latvia, born Oct. 2011, has won her last 6 tournaments at Tennis Europe level and is head and shoulders above nearly all the others of her age.

Top 10-12 Cat. 1 event at Bressuire

Well, as reported yesterday, Darina MATVEJEVA (Latvia) had played her last three matches here and lost precisely ZERO games, (and only lost 2 games in her very first match), had won her last 6 tournaments at Tennis Europe level and is head and shoulders above nearly all the others of her age.

Unfortunately, that proved all too true as she beat Dasha Jones today, with another 6-0 6-0

Really - not losing ONE SINGLE game in four matches is a bit much, Darina
