Yeah I thought Mimi looked great. Very assured performance.

Ella in the meantime is really struggling

Interested looking at the bookies odds

Ella is a 50/50 match
Mika is a very slight outsider suprisingly, although the opponent has a similar profile in juniors
Lily is a big favourite

 Mimi was a very slight outsider too before the start.

I had a quick flick through Mimis match on ITF replay. She played well, more aggressive than yesterday. Impressed with that second serve though, seems to be a big improvement. Also very secure around the net which with Mimis doubles experience you may have expected.

Ella looked really one paced and out of sorts . I have seen Malygina a few times in Glasgow and she is nothing special but looked like a world beater against Ella today.

I didnt think Ella was that good all week.
She beat two players who were error strewn and then came up against a solid player, who made few mistakes

 To be brutally honest the standard here is pretty low for W100, particularly compared to the lower W75 in Glasgow next week. Unless there is a sudden exodus, that may give a better indication as to where our younger players are at. Mika, currently doing well against Lucie, currently ranked in the 600s so should be pretty easy. Noticed Lucie was up to 196 when she was 18 but wonder if she has been injured.Anyway should be relatively easy.
