Brilliant win from Hannah! Had to dig deep and Iva Jovic was tough to beat with her aggressive returning. Hannah was the more solid player in the final few games especially

Four three-set wins on clay. What an achievement. Hannah's growth has been impressive this year, but also feels measured. Her last three opponents are all 16-and-under, so very good benchmarks and on her least favourite surface. There's no rush for her to do a Laura Robson, but as long as she keeps learning and developing and stays injury free, she remains on schedule.
Colette (Zoo Tennis) posted the following with quotes from Hannah. Tyra Grant and Iva Jovic defended their doubles title, so Tyra will be looking to complete the double in the final, which is scheduled for 3pm GMT

Klugman, who has now won four consecutive three-set matches, saving a match point in her quarterfinal win over top seed Laura Samsonova of the Czech Republic, admitted that she had to adjust to the conditions in the opening set.
"It was very windy today and I was finding it very hard to control the ball in the first set," said Klugman, a 14-year-old from Wimbledon. "I was a bit unsure how much spin to put on the ball, but in the last two sets I really went for it, was aggressive, and that what I think got me the win today. I was stepping up much better."
Klugman pointed to the seventh game of the third set as the crucial one, after Jovic had fought back from a break down for 3-3.
"At 3-all we had a really tight game, she had game points, I had game points, and that was a big turning point, getting that game," said Klugman, who reached the Junior Orange Bowl 14s final last year and will be playing in her first J500 final 12 months later."Then I played two really great games, was really aggressive."
