There were a couple of tough matches but all the Danish girls managed to win their 1st round matches. Well done! Alipieva, Noe, Francati and some other Danes withdrew from the list some time ago (Julie Noe apparently recently).

All five Danes in the tournament are also playing doubles. GL!

Simone is playing a TE U14 tournament in Sweden this week. It's "Kungens Kanna & Drottningens Pris" - a quite good Grade 1 tournament. Simone needs some good results here to get back into the European top 10. Emilie Håkansson is also playing here. She won her 1st round match. Simone had a 1st round bye.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

[angliru]

No problem. But notice that the match has been moved to court 2 (luckily also streamed!):

Mihailikova starts serving. Great net play by Simone in the 1st game! But unfortunately Mihailikova is broken.

[backhandsmash]

They are getting their asses kicked by those russians.

[angliru]

Yes, horrible first set. Too many errors. But I still think Simone/Tereza can win the match. We'll see...

[backhandsmash]

This is exciting! Novak or Rafa would have a heartattack if someone served so quickly against them.

[backhandsmash]

1-6 7-5 11-9

[angliru]

Wow. Simone and Tereza wins the supertiebreak 11-9! Well done.

I think Simone's game is really well suited for the doubles. She likes to move forward and volley or half-volley rather than move backwards. Two volleys from Simone at the net won the match (from 9-9 to 11-9). GL in the final!

[angliru]

And yes, very exciting indeed. I certainly enjoyed watching it (although my stream began to freeze towards the end of the match).

[backhandsmash]

Yeah, it seems she really loves it at the net. Some of those volleys were damn nice.
