Week 6 – ITF W50 Grenoble, France - Hard (indoor)


Hannah gets about the worst draw possible, up against the second seed cry

Marina got to the final of the W50 two weeks ago, and came through two quali rounds, losing in the FQR in the Australian Open 

 

R1: (2) Marina Bassols Ribera (ESP) WR 208 (CH 105 Feb. '24) v (JE) Hannah Klugman (GBR) WR 628

First set to Hannah, 6-2.  I didn't quite expect that!

Well she has had 5 match points so far but been pretty tentative on all of them (Including an awful double fault). 9-9 in tiebreak

Great win, but should have won it much earlier

Great win for Hannah - I think her second best by ranking at senior level? Really good to see her making progress.

Yeh it was pretty awful to watch at the end but still, a great win.

 That looks like a very good win for Hannah - I meant to watch, but think I'm glad I didn't smile

 Just to be precise, and conform with how it'll be on the WTA site, Hannah is WR 590 as of the start of this week (and Marina is 210) 

Great win. 

Not surprised Hannah that was ultra tight at the end. Winning ugly. But if she'd lost that TB, Marina would have been the overwhelming favourite for the third. So clutch stuff, in the end, from Hannah

Yes, I usually check the rankings when I post the draws, and use the new rankings once the WTA have posted them. So .......

 This'll be interesting

Océane used to be top-50 (her CH was 46) and she's still only 29

Favourite service is hard, as she's a power, hard, flat hitter

Has been out injured for a year or so and it was during that time that she got the cosmetic surgery done that has been the talk of much tennis twittering - although, to be fair, Océane herself has talked about it a lot too

Bet365 have them as evens - Océane at 1.8 and Hannah at 1.9

I see Oceane had to take a wildcard.
Her ranking is false and she got to the SF at Manchester.
I would have Oceane as favourite.
PS Hannah bring your earphones, she is a very noisy player...
