Week 7 - ITF W50 Roehampton - Indoor Hard

Hev is so tentative on these match points. Allowing Hep to step in and hit some lovely shots. But she finally gets over the line. The roar suggests that was harder work than she had wanted it to be.

6-4 6-2

Yes

I didn't think this match would be very interesting. But Jon was right - it actually was.

I've always liked Hep's tennis (and she has definite things to improve on, which is sort of encouraging)

And she's really stepped up a level or two in recent months - she was playing good, adult level tennis out there

Hev was OK, not great, but a long way from cruising

Watching Mikas match and very impressed so far, not afraid to move up the court and go on offensive. I wondered how tall she is?

Yeah she hits a heavy ball and returning really well, robbing Helgo of time.

Mika takes the first set 6-3.

Emma also doing a great job against Hruncakova, winning the first set 7-5.

Worth noting that Mika's opponent took a set off both Caroline Garcia and Donna Vekic at the start of the year.

Having stood near her this summer, I would say about 5ft 9 or 10

She's a tall girl

It's hard to imagine Helgo took a set off anyone watching this match. Not impressed with her at all. The only time she scored anything was when she took the offensive - otherwise very defensive and it's not working.

Mika is 6ft. Her strength, apart from having a great serve, is her power behind the ball.

Grachka · County player

A very comprehensive win for Mika - 6-3 6-1. And never in doubt.

Hruncakova couldnt have hit a barn door in the first set, the errors were ridiculous. She's calmed it down slightly but Emma is battling hard and hitting a nice ball.

7-5 3-6 1-1*

TW18 · Lower Club Player

Hard to imagine Hruncakova is the number 5 seed looking at the first set! Emma doing well in the 3rd.

Looking forward to the Bartunkova match.

I havent seen Mika play for a long time so its was nice to see how much her game has evolved since joining the LTA academy
