Week 48 - ITF ($10K) - El Kantaoui, Tunisia Hard

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Valentine is one of the top stars in French tennis.

Age 16, ranked about JWR 200, but - way more importantly - the top-ranked 16 year-old in the domestic rankings - although only made the semis in the Nationals last summer.

Mirabelle is a set and a break up

Well done to Mirabelle.

I expect she's having a great time with the young French contingent who are obviously there as a squad.

There are four 16 year-olds and the WC 15 year-old playing in the main draw (two have already got a R1 win).

Mirabelle has teamed up in doubles with one of the 16 year-olds, Kassandra Devesne

It must be nice for her to have a group of girls she can hang out with.

Mirabelle merciless again :)
Faces 4th seed Sipek SLO ranked 619 in the QFs

paulisi · Tennis legend

QF: Mirabelle Njoze(5) WR 637 v Natalija Sipek (SLO) (4) WR 619

Both are almost identical in ranking and age in seniors, but Mirabelle has a slightly better junior record.

Mirabelle must have a half decent chance of progressing

The top seed likely to await the winners in the semi, who has hardly dropped a game so far.

Strongbow · All-time great

Mirabelle+ won their doubles 6-1 6-2 smile

First set down the pan 6-3, but 2-0 up in the second

Strongbow · All-time great

Mirabelle loses 3-6 4-6 cry

She must hate Friday Quarter Final day - at least she is consistent

Next week she should be seeded to make the semi final, so here's hoping....

indiana · Tennis legend

Mirabelle has had so many 10K QFs in a row ( 15 including 2 SFs since June ) that after one more 2 pointer or better, 10K QFs won't add to her counters until next June ( though in turn it would have her having nothing to defend until next June ).

Hopefully she can finish the year reaching later stages, starting with next week, and then push on next year.
