Both were struggling to hold serve with Ella repeatedly being taken to deuce, some of which Ella held and some she lost however Ella was breaking her opponent's serve fairly easily and that made the difference.

An excellent win - I think Ella's best win was against Ana Bogdan at Eastbourne in 24. Ana was WR 50 or 80.

You are right, and Ana was WR50 at the time. Strangely that match doesn't appear in Ella's record on tennisabstract.

Var · Futures level

Well done Ella. You tend to forget she is still only 20 and didnt she get to number 8 in juniors? Obviously the move into the college system seems to have been a really good decision potentially acting as a springboard for her poro career.
