Jessica has a great game. Extremely consistent groundstrokes which are still developing, good footspeed, solid net game & consistent serve. I watched her play Fujiwara & was much more impressed with her than Olivia Lukaszewicz who's received much more support from T.A.
After she qualifies for Wellington next week, she'll gain a senior singles ranking.
Good luck Jess!!
She is having some great results!! That 60 60 thrashing of Bianca!!
Well done to her...its about time you guys have an answer to the juniors were producing:lol:.
Mana.. i have posted pics of Jess in the aussie player pics thread!
Damn you Sean i was gona make this thread lol!
I am so glad that after me raving about Jess to people on here for the past year or so that she is showing you what i was talking about! Great results so far this year! Hopefully bigger and better things on the way!
I was really confident she would beat Biance today but a double bagel! Go Jess!
Banikow should provide a much better test in R2! If she can (fingers crossed) get past that i can easily see a semi final or better coming up for Jess!
P.S. Also keep an eye out for Brittany Sheed in the next year or so!
Jess just 1 win away from a wta ranking after her round one win in qualies at wellington today. She beat local wildcard Emma Hayman 63 62 and now plays top seed anna fitzpatrick for a spot in the md.
Pretty tough task for Jess to play no.1 seed in the first round!
Come on jess and try your best!
If you lose, I'm still proud of you if you play very well!
Jess' is becoming my favourite soon!
