Unfortunately I don't have a Sky or Now TV subscription, so cannot enlighten you about who it was - but commentators on junior grand slam matches with poor knowledge of the players is not uncommon unfortunately

It was Louise Pleming.

Her leg was bandaged above the knee but it did not hamper her. At one point McNeil tried a sneaky underarm

serve but Mimi was on it and replied with a soft dropshot. It was not tried again wink .

Yes, it's so fluid, and 'easy', function of great footwork and timing biggrin

He's been working with Andy's Matt Little, we've been told (as well as the direct help from Andy too)

LordBrownof · Futures level

Yes, Charlie! That was a great win, and it was so solidly aggressive. I enjoyed it so much that I will head to the grounds tomorrow if Charlie is playing (and I can leave work a little early!).
