Yes, great to see.

I'd love to see Helen back on tour ( i.e. ITFs, not British tour ), but just if and when she feels ready.

Naomi Broady is playing Edgbaston this week. As are Beth, Laura D and Lucy B (amongst others).

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Naomi defeated Kasia Pitak 6-4 6-4, which is not exactly 'easy' but got the job done.

In the QFs, Naomi B plays Ghodrati, Laura D plays Hilllyer, Lucy plays beth and Bolkvadze plays Alannah Griffin

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

In the semis:

Naomi B def. Natasha Hillyer (who'd put out Laura D) 6-2 6-2

Mariam B def. Lucy Brown (who'd beaten Beth) 6-2 1-6 6-4

Not a great result (for GB) . . .

Final :

Mariam Bolkvadze [2] WR 694] def. Naomi Broady [1] WR 161] 6-3 6-4

After her recent good results in Sharm, young Nell Miller (turned 15 two days ago) has zoomed through to the final (helped, it's true, by Natasha H retiring in her match, but all the same . . .)

She'll play 16 year-old Lauren Dowling in the final.

Nell Miller def. Lauren Dowling 6-0 6-1 to take the title

In the semis in Bolton, Beth Askew def. Serena Nash 6-1 6-4 and Helen Parish def. Eva Siskova 3-6 6-3 6-2

Helen had to retire. It's hard for her to do a full week flat-out. Hope she's feeling better soon.

COngrats to Beth.

On the clay in Bournemouth, young Jodie Burrage wins the title

15 year-old Jodie beat olivia Nichols in the final, having already beaten top seed Aimee Gibson in the semis. Olivia beat Katie Dyson in her semi.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Beth Askew lost in the semis to Katie Dyson.

Katie (surely she's half-way there with that name???) will play young Lidia Burrows in the final.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, you could see Katie cleaning up with that name.

Watched a bit of Miss Burrows whilst I was strolling around the venue today, very calm and poised against an opponent who was getting increasingly agitated. Heard also that Jess Ren had a shocker earlier in the week, very sad to see someone who had so much potential, now playing so poorly, on a positive note apparently she is enjoying her time at Durham Uni.

Katie D beat Lidia : 5-7 6-2 6-3
