She's really starting to etch her way into our minds now

Christine · Strong Club Player

Yes, been keeping my eye on Sarah this year, doing a good job of building on her success gradually. So good to see her do so well this week

One to watch. And remember she is only 19 and competing well at W15 level and also entering some W25's.

Sarah was doing so well but got pipped to the post and has lost the first set in a tie break

DF · Tennis legend

Then she takes the second easily 6-1.

Good luck in the decider Sarah.

A good battle from Sarah, looks like an opponent on the rise

Shame she couldnt keep going but a good week. Good to see some of the juniors breaking into the seniors.

Hodzic won a 60k event in 2022 as a 19 year old so is clearly talented and recently back playing. Looks a really encouraging performance.

Sarah kept getting a useful lead only to see her opponent fight back. I think Sarah might have been a double break up at the start of the 1st set only to see Mina grow stronger and eventually pull level. Sarah tried to do the reverse in the 3rd, she went two breaks down, pulled one back but couldn't pull back level.
