Oh that is such a shame for mimi especially as she has been playing so well and had a chance to defend her title here. I hope its nothing serious and doesnt derail her opportunities at the US open juniors.

Hannah won her semi 1 and 0 and is into the final

With results here and then in the US Open, would both girls (or maybe Charlie or Oli?) have a chance of reaching the junior world tour finals? Qualifying cut off is 9th September for top 8 and Hannah and Mimi are only just outside the entry list as it stands

Well Mimi is on a plane, posted on Insta. Assuming she is en route for New York? No doubt she will let us know as she is very good with content.

Yes they have a chance of qualifying. Whether they would then choose to play is a different matter. Many players qualify and then don't play. I believe Henry Searle was in this position last year.

Hannah dropping seven games in four matches is impressive. It's not a US Open level field, but being able to exert your dominance can be habit forming.

The final has been brought forward an hour to 11am (local) as rain is forecast. A decision will be made 2 hours before whether to play indoors at a different venue.

There is a livestream to watch for Hannah's match on the website itjr.ca/en but for some reason its blocked for me.

Edit: its blocked for everyone outside Canada. ITF don't permit streaming outside of the host.

You can always use a VPN, although they're currently in a rain delay.

After an excellent week, losing only 7 games en route to the Final, Hannah unfortunately and surprisingly lost to the unseeded Italian. The match was played indoors.

F: Noemi Basiletti (ITA) d. (1) Hannah Klugman 7-6(2), 6-4 cry

That is a surprise and a shame. Good week for her overall though.

Didn't see that coming and her opponent was trailing 5-2 against Mimi.

Also I hope this won't affect her chances at the US open (fatigue or confidence)

I suspect a lot of the result was that it was played on different courts than she had been playing on all week and indoors. It wouldn't be the first time she's struggled when transitioning from outdoors to indoors (thinking specifically of last year's nationals).
