It's a very strange technique she has on her backhand; it's quite effective but I'm surprised her coach allows her to keep it like that, for a purist now would certainly be the time to try and change it
Shame. Her opponent was playing the U18 Winter Nationals in the US only last week. Made the final. I'd hoped that Anna might be rather tired, what with that and the flight and everything. But seemingly not....
Very nice win by Ella over the German woman, ranked top-800
I do SO much prefer Ella's game when she goes to the net a bit
For a tall girl, with a good arm, she puts remarkably little on the ball from the back of the court - plays very much a percentage game - pushing right and left
And yet when she's in 'going to the net' mode, she puts a little bit more, has decent volleys and had a real smash practice session - where she held up very well

Melosch is ITF 755, not WTA 755, so an expected win for Ella.

It happens to us all !! But Ella was seeded and Melosch wasn't, which is why I spotted it.
