Run Yasmin Run

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

With Yasmin doing really well in the States, final at eddie herr and QF here, where will she be in terms of rankings?

Salmon · Tennis legend

Eddie Herr was a 16&U event, so it doesn't count towards her ITF ranking. If she loses her quarters here, she will go up to around 387ish from 462.

But I think that she will win her quarters.

I am pretty glad that Anna F isn't going to Australia. Honestly..... why play Juniors when you are good enough to win 10Ks?

Yeah, that's been puzzling me all autumn !!

Maybe it's to do with the fact that she's restricted in the number of senior tournaments she can play till she's 18

Yasmin was leading 6-4, 3-0 when Rodier retired so she's into the semis

SF:

Y Clarke [GB] v G Paz-Franco [Ven][1]

Paz-Franco is 15 and ranked 88 in juniors. She lost in rd2 of the Orange Bowl to Cirstea and in rd1 of Eddie Herr. Her best results this year have been; 2 G1 quarters, a G2 quarters, 2 G4 finals and a G5 win. She took a set off Larcher De Brito this autumn.
She played Yasmin earlier this year, Yasmin won 6-7[3], 6-4, 6-0 on clay in Florida.

Yasmin is on fire at the moment, she reached the final with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 win over the top seed and junior no 88

What a win !!! Arka, what will her ranking now rise to ?

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Go Yasmin!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Wow! That's an impressive win. Till now she was playing people inferior to her (don't forget that Yas is underranked due to lack of action).

Her rank will go up to around 340 now. And it will be around 315 if she beats Pantic in the finals.

Pantic will go in there as the favourite. Yas will have to be at her best to win. She played Pantic in the finals of a 10K in Texas earlier this year and lost that match in straights.

Well done Yasmin!!!

When I first started paying attention to juniors tennis I noticed Yasmin getting good results in the states. I was planning to keep an eye on her progress but she seemed to disappear of the scene for a bit. It's great to see her getting wins against superior opposition.

Salmon · Tennis legend

My case is an exact mirror image!

What a result.....

.....has she ever been in a final at this level before ?

Salmon · Tennis legend

Nope, but it's just due to lack of trying. This is her first G4 since July 2003.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

When will the final be played??

Salmon · Tennis legend

Today at 10 a.m. local time.

I think that the official site for the Prince Cup has to be the most hopeless tourney site in the world. The tournament will get over tomorrow, but they haven't posted the lists, haven't posted the draw, the History section reads "Coming soon"....
