I would like to start a cheering thread for one of the sweetest young girls out there. Alison is so nice and always smiling. She's had some great results this summer, and let's hope she can do well in the pro's!
7-5 6-7(6) 6-2. Not sure if she had MP at 6-5 in the tiebreak. It went from 5-5 to 6-6. Great job, Alison. Hantuchova next. Tough match, but she defended almost all her points, so no shame in losing.
She can beat Dantuchova. If fact she has a good shot at wining the whole thing. She is in the Q of the next wta. If she wins would she get a first round direct bid in to that toury? I know ITF does. But does the WTA?
Alison is good on grass because she hits a flat penetrating ball. Grass and indoor courts are the fastest. She does the best on those two courts. It gives her a chance to attack more at the net.
Tough one today.
Lost 2-6, 4-6. Had a break point at 4-5 30-40. But lost the match. Great start to grass season. Three wins at each tourney.
