Sealed with an ace. Mimi wins 6/3 6/2, her forehand is lethal - I lost count of how many winners she hit on that side in set 2. Hannah was misfiring a fair bit, great week for both.

Mimi seemed more up for the match than Hannah who seemed dispirited

Think Hannah wished she'd been the one playing Mona Barthel instead of Lily. Mimi has just got her number somehow.

I didn't see any of the match but the stats on second serve give an indication. Hannah won just 3 points from 21 second serves with 6 DF, so Mimi must have been all over the serve.

Well most probably no one knows Hannahs game as well as Mimi so I dont think Hannah should be too disheartened. She had still had a good week. More ranking points. Mimi perhaps needed the points more.

Only saw the first set of Mimi/Hannah
Hannah was SO off kilter with her serve - first and second. So many throw-ups of the ball. DFs. Missed first serves. TBH, Mimi's wasn't hugely better but Hannah looked tight beyong belief. She looked worried, and then resigned. None of the positive energy playing against the big names.
Really doesn't matter. Great run for Mimi (and still going).

I watched the second set and Mimi just outgunned her too much power.

Mimi was like a little bundle of energy, racing around the court, taking the serves early and rushing to the net.

Very good biggrin

May Hannah and Mimi continue to inspire each other.

Yes, but having just talked to someone up there, who knows them both, Hannah was well off from normal, which is partly thanks to Mimi, of course, but just was not hitting through the ball like she normally does, very tight armed, and so was always on the back foot. There's obviously a big mental element to that. Which seemingly her camp expected.

Is anyone else having trouble with the ITF site or is it just me? It gives the Fact Sheet for each event but no information on Acceptance List, Draws and Results or Order of Play.
