Week 2 - Australian Open qualifying - Melbourne (outdoor hard)

Blue_Belle · Club Coach

Lulu Sun was in a local NZ paper recently as she was born and used to represent NZ before switching to Switzerland.

Perhaps Fran will get on better with Rouvroy than Swan who recently lost to her.

I don't think any of the 4 can have any complaints about their potential route to qualification. Lily has 3 WCs in her section I think. Fran has the most difficult section of the of the 4.
Barring catastrophe Harriet should definitely get through her section.

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Fran has the type of game to beat that French girl. But then she hasnt played much recently.

Would be expecting 4 wins.

Fran beat Margaux in Biarritz in 2022 7-6(11) 6-0

Will be very interesting to see how Ercan plays

In juniors last year:

Final Traralgon 2023: Melisa Ercan def. Mirra Andreeva 2:6 6:3 6:4

And now she's Australian....

Yes Ercan is a bit of a banana skin, but let's see. Shame Fran has had so little play and fitness in the last couple of years.

All the best ladies.

Deucebag · Intermediate Club Player

Lulu sun trains at Justine Henin Academy, and works with a very good coach called Olivier Jeunehomme who is the former coach of Clara Taison and dayana yastremenska among others.
He basically has a knack of taking girls from around 300 in the world To well inside the top 100.
Hes a very good coach but I dont think they have been working together for that long.
