After her doubles title in France last week Ellie Blackford has moved to Hungary to tackle a Grade 2 event. I expect she will find it difficult here, as she has played very little on clay at ITF level, while her opponent plays regularly on the surface, stacking up 2 Grade 4 titles and a Grade 3 runner-up in...
