RE: Week 35 - WTT W50 Leiria, Portugal - Hard

Maddie's 8th title (all at W50 or above) and Millie's 13th

Brilliant - well done to both !

In the singles, will Hannah's run here means she gets an SE to next week's event and so doesn't need to use her JE position ? Or is that pretty much irrelevant?

the addict · Tennis legend

Assuming there haven't been any further withdrawals, Hannah needs her JE to make the main draw. She would just miss out on the main draw by WR. I don't think she would need a SE as she is already in the main draw.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

But she'd rather use the SE than the JE, no?
Because the number of JEs is limited

Lambda_ · Lower Club Player

She's not eligible for a SE as she isn't in the qualifying acceptance list. Once entered on the junior accelerator program she can't change it

How are Mika and Jodie going to cope against the might of the Czech girls in the BJ King cup?
Surely time to give the fifth spot to Fran given Mika's woeful form. As she said last week, "I'm just glad to keep putting to bed everyone that keeps saying I'm a bloody clay-court player".
Yes. It would be extraordinary to have Jodie and Mika rather than Fran in the singles spots.
That's assuming Fran actually wants to play BJK Cup?

Fran seems to be playing tournaments in Europe in the next 3weeks. BJK cup not her schedule

This from 'tennis unfiltered' a few days ago -

'And then Fran Jones gave a decent account of herself against good friend Iva Jovic. Jones, whose praises I sang yesterday, will be on the verge of a top-100 place when the rankings refresh. (She also will not have to worry about the BJK Cup, as she was not selected. I asked her if she would like to be, and uncharacteristically, she said next question. There is a story there, one to be told at a later date, no doubt.)'

Hannah takes the first set 7-5 against a disgruntled opponent, because of lack of call on the penultimate point.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

It may not last but that was a really first class set of tennis from Hannah

She was playing intelligently, as well as just well

Putting Linda in trouble, forcing her further and further back, and coming in a lot, taking the time away from her opponent

Do hope it carries on

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Second set was topsy turvy and Hannah lost it 4-6.there was a med time out- I think for Fruhvirtova h, and now Hannah 4-0 up in final set.
