Wales, She's a very tall, slender girl, left-handed, packs a huge punch with her shots but not the quickest on her feet (a touch like a lefty Katie Boulter)
Comes from Yorkshire, I think
Always been a little fave
The sort of game that will flow well into adults, hopefully
The LTA like her, she's had a fair number of wildcards into good events and was selected for the Loughborough academy a couple of years ago, I think

Daniela is going to college in US I assume in September.

She's going to South Carolina. As things currently are, it'll be a young team with 7 of the 9 on the roster for next year in their first 2 years.

Edmund, Jubb, Monday. She's the latest coming out of the Hull and nearby area pipeline of quality tennis players.

Marni is a set up

And it's one set all

Just wonderful when it's GB v GB and you really like both players

Allez, les deux !

I saw the third set of Dani P v Marni - very good tennis, Marni deserved it but Dani was right up there, a couple of very tight games at the start went Marni's way which set her off on the right track but they could easily have gone the other way and then, who knows.....

But thrilled to see Marni back, stringing wins together

So sad to see Mimi with injury problems - does anyone know what's ailing her?
