Well done Hannah. Have to say those few weeks at the Nadal Academy have certainly had a positive impact. Looking forward to watching Hannahs progress at Roland Garros. Plateau over, now on the up again.
Hannah's first ITF Junior semi-final on European clay (unusually a week after her first ITF pro semi on European clay - she has though won the Orange Bowl on American green clay)

I do get the feeling that her team are planning for her longer term transition into the Pro circuit making her able to cope well with all surfaces and therefore giving her more opportunities of being at the sharp end of the rankings. An encouraging couple of weeks.
