Well done to Mika! Great result.

Out of interest, how do the head to head stack up between Mika, Hannah and Mimi? Including nationals etc?

---

The ITF has Hannah and Mimi meeting twice with Mimi winning at both junior and senior level.

They have Mika and Mimi meeting once with Mika winning at the junior level.

Mika and Hannah have not met. 

---

 They've played in the nationals, though 

Hannah beat Mika in the U16 final last year

And Hannah beat Mika in the U18 semis 

You'll find all the other matches between them all (i.e. Mimi v Hannah etc) in the draws

She needs to make sure she doesn't overdo it, it's easy to incur injuries at such a young age.

 She has never had an injury since playing aged 4/5 and she's played for hours every week, so I can't see that happening.  Might be wrong.

---

 Lambda noticed she pulled out of next weeks W35 Nottingham event. Seems like she has sound advice. Must say I would love to see her play over the summer on the grass.

 Her performance last year at Junior Wimbledon was when she broke onto the scene for most people. She had an excellent event, really left her mark. 

Definitely worth trying to get to see it live if you could

I still maintain that it was her play at Roehampton last month that rather put Hannah off - the crack of the racket and noise of the ball was SO impressive that I think Hannah was a little shaken - she was courtside watching, and not looking too happy, and then went on to play a really poor (by her standards) match

I will definitely try to see her play this summer. With her height could be another Kvitova or Azarenka. Surely the serve can only get better? Very exciting.

 She's probably got a good chance of wildcards to Surbiton and Wimbledon Qualifying as well - Hannah, Mimi and Isabelle were all at the latter. Or there is Roehampton in July and August and I would expet her to play one of thosse.

FWIW these are the H2Hs asked about. But do bear in mind the different rates of development, especially in the younger age groups, that not much can be read into these.

Hannah leads the H2H with Mika 8 - 0, but that includes 2x10U, 2x12U and a 14U domestic events. The other 3 times were at the Nationals 2x16U, 1x18U.

Mimi leads Hannah 7 - 0. As Peter says 1 adult and 1 junior ITF. They've played 4 times at the junior nationals (12U, 16U an twice at 18U) and the remaining match was at 9U, which can probably be discounted.

Mimi and Mika are tied with 1 win each. 1 adult ITF to Mika and 1 18U Nationals to Mimi.

None of them ever played each other at Tennis Europe level.

 It may have put Hannah off, as you say, but I don't think Hannah has much to worry about in the longer run - Hannah has always had natural talent and Mika's has come through hard work (not that Hannah hasn't worked hard but she trumps where natural talent is concerned, as does Mimi).  Hannah and Mika trained extensively together (when Hannah was at Reed's - still is, I gather - Mika's parents joined Reed's so as to train with Hannah) so they really know each others game.  It's only since Mika has been at the Academy that they've not played together as much.

It really feels exciting to see where these three will be in say 4 to 5 years time, and with Emma, imagine Wimbledon 2029, say!

 Should be quite a GB BJK Cup squad!

 

I put a pound on Mika this morning, was worried I'd jinxed her!
