Wow what a fantastic win for Ella! I was disappointed by some of her results over the summer and she didnt play as much as I expected so this is really encouraging

How is Ella managing to play so many tournaments?  Dont they interfere with playing matches for her college?

This semester is for individual play. Many of the top players skip college tennis this semester and that she has chosen to play here this week instead of trying to qualify for the NCAAs tells me she wont be playing college tennis until the team season starts in January. A lot of these US pro events during the autumn are on the schedules for colleges or in the agreed development plans for the player.

What a close and high quality first set, such a shame Ella came out on the wrong side of it in the tie break. Hopefully she can maintain this standard and turn it around

Kayla takes it in straight sets but Ella really made her work for that, had a chance to break back when Kayla was serving for the match too but first serves got Day out of trouble. Hopefully lots more to come from Ella

SF:- Ella McDonald (GBR) WR454 lost to Kayla Day (USA) WR118 [1] 6(7)-7 3-6
