The exciting thing, too, is that Hollie is playing the J300 and the J500 in the USA after this i.e. the full North American swing. And it's all on clay.

With her already about JR 91, she's got the chance for a far bigger jump in the next few weeks, even if she loses to Jana today

Hollie was outplayed and lost, winning three games, in the last 8. Great week for her and good luck in Florida!

DavidC · Tennis legend

The Czech sisters remain on course to meet in the final - their second ITF final on opposite sides of the net

QF: (wc) (2) Jana Kovackova (CZE) d. Hollie Smart 6-2 6-1

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

In the J300 in Bradenton, it only looks like Hollie is playing. Is Allegra somewhere else next week? Allegra and her sister Ophelia are both still in J500 Orange Bowl week of the 8th but seems strange they would miss the Bradenton warm up?

Jana lost 7-5 in the third in her SF, to the exciting Brazilian 15 year-old (to one of them, in fact - they have two real stars in the making), Victoria Barros.

The sisters withdrew from the doubles final - almost certainly because of Jana - hope she's OK

It's all a bit of a bunfight to try and secure top-10 year-end finishes - very tight biggrin
