I had a German languages teacher at school called Hertel. Ursula. Everyone fancied her. She married the TV presenter Mike Smart and became Ursula Smart. Everyone still fancied her. Ha.

Amelia won and will qualify for the MD.

Excellent

A very good candidate for the top-500 in the near future (if she plays enough ranking events and it's not just college tennis - otherwise, same thing just a little later on)

I see what you did there, good effort!

Lambda · Challenger level

I'm surprised Millie chose to play here instead of the ITA Regional Championships over the weekend. But it seems to have paid off.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Millie has heavy strapping on her left thigh

But doesn't seem too hampered by it

She's leading 6-3 3-2 at the moment, and playing quite well

She's not moving terribly well (but, to be fair, Millie's movement is not her strong point at the best of times, so I'm not sure if it's the leg or not)

Anyway, if one strike tennis gets the job done, then just stick to that

R1: RAJECKI, Amelia (GBR) Q 794 def. BENNETT, DJ (USA) Q 788 6-3 6-2

That's a nice win, and 15 points, which will take Millie to a new CH

But also protect her when her 15k title from last year drops off in November

Coric shows her up 93 places to WR701, but with only 6 counters she'll drop back by that amount when the title points drop off.

Just 10 points for her W15 title so still guaranteed up a net 5 points by year end.

5 more points should leave her around her current CH 765 with nothing then to drop until next June.
