Just watched a bit of Sofia's match (which she won quite easily) - thanks for the link, David

Young players clay court tennis often involves a lot of long rallies with high, loopy balls - and this didn't disappoint

Sofia wins in 2 sets. Sofia was patient and played the better clay court tennis (even if not very proactive with the ball) but Elizaveta was full of errors throughout. Well done Sofia, who is through to the final!

It is the third year running that we have a finalist here. In 2023 Hollie Smart lost to Ksenia Efremova whilst last year Eric Lorimer went one better, courtesy of a w/o in the final

SF

(3) Sofia Tatu d. (10) Elizaveta Anikina (EST) 6-4 6-3

Yes, just what I thought Oscariyan - like the bit I saw two days ago, Sofia is a little too clay courter for my liking (), but it's good athletic tennis, and she's quite a strong girl for her age, and given Anilina's pedigree (albeit a year young) Sofia did very well to get on top of her and stay that way

Making the final of a Super cat event is a huge deal - and winning it would be even 'huger'

For some reason the girls final is on court 1 now rather than joining the boys final on the main central court

Sofia leads 2-1*
