Great week for Charlie.

Am I right in thinking that Jagger Leach is Lindsay Davenports son?


 Sure thats correct - is Rick Leach her husband?

Interestingly two 15 year old reached the girls semifinals: Efremova (2009) - who beat Emerson Jones - and Thea Frodin (2008) who is in the final.

According to Colette (Zootennis) there will be live streaming this afternoon (3pm start) of the final via Youtube  She reported in her blog:

"Robertson admitted he had a mental lapse that cost him the second set.

"I got off to a good start and then relaxed a bit too much and thought, no way this guy comes back," sais the 17-year-old from Scotland. "I just completely switched off, wasn't very good, but I reset and I'm happy with the way I finished."

Robertson didn't see any change in Faurel's level in the second set, so was confident he'd prevail if he could eliminate his errors.

"When I was serving well, being solid and when I was aggressive, I always hit a winner, he couldn't do much," said Robertson, who has a fan club of young players who train at JTCC. "All he had against me in the second set was I just missed. He didn't do anything, it was just all me. So I just flipped that around, was more patient, and when I had the opportunity I went with bigger margins and it worked."

Robertson garnered his fans with his third round win over top seed Rei Sakamoto, and they have continued to support him in his next two victories.

"When I won that match on Center Court, there were a lot of kids supporting me," Robertson said. "I went up to them, let them know I appreciated it and now they're all here and I'm absolutely loving them, it's so nice."

Robertson has been taken under the wing of another Scottish player, the recently retired Andy Murray.

"I got to spend time with Andy, which is pretty cool, and we've built a relationship," Robertson said. "He's a very generous guy, he's been helping me a lot. During the grass season I was hitting with him, obviously he was still playing, and I just got to be around him, it was cool to see how he works. He's an incredible player, obviously, and an incredible guy, so it's cool to be around him and take things I can fit into my game also."

Robertson will be looking to avenge his loss in the only other J300 final he's played, falling to Jodar 7-6(7), 6-4 two months ago at Roehampton."

Seemingly Charlie was having quite a lot of problem with his lower back

And assuming that's why he's not playing this week.

 Charlie withdrew from Repentigny on August 8th, presumably deciding that unlike Oli he would take a rest rather than play 3 weeks in a row.  There are only a handful of the top 30 boys who are playing both events.

 Thanks, and would have ended up pulling out anyway. He did well to play the doubles final.
