Oh dear, it does seem like Hannah is set on moving to leaving junior tennis soon. Whilst it may be a reasonable decision from a tennis perspective, I am not so sure about it from a life perspective.
Whatever lies ahead for her in senior tennis, is uncertain. It may be top 10, it may be top 100. This coming year may be her best chance of winning a slam. I hope she takes it, but I fear she will listen to tennis, rather than life coaches
I agree 800thy. However she will be limited as to how many tournaments she can play, so I would have thought she will intersperse a few junior grand slams along the way? Also has to dovetail A Levels into the schedule. Not sure if she is like Mimi and could study on tour?

I think Hannah has been doing study by correspondence for the last two years now so she can certainly fit that into tennis
Those with more insight - Hannah will obviously be well in the top 8 this year and no doubt qualify for the Junior World Tour Finals - Mika played last year, as did Charlie R.
Would we expect Hannah to take up a place this year towards end of October?
The W100 at Wrexham would seem to clash with the China finals in terms of dates.
