Steve, if you get a chance to go see some matches. Could you please check out the following players for me please?

* Yurika Sema (JPN)
* Moe Kawatoko (JPN)

Moe is supposed to be Japan's next big hope. I hope she performs as well there as she's had the last few weeks.

 

[AUSBOY]

Also another guy I know who has an arsehole of a father LOL.

Hope they draw each other first round!

[SM]

ooh someone i played doubles with a few years ago also won...goo Brent :bounce:

 

[SM]

Hi Danker.....i just got back from my first day , left early cos Dominikovic , Tanevska and Lucaszewic(spelling?) werent there today .....

but i got to see an all asian match...i think that Kawatoko girl was playing! both girls were very small in build , one was a Selesian who liked to hit sliced returns low and she was keeping her errors intact! the other gal was just missing everything and looked unsettled..it was like 4-1 or something in set1 when i lfet that match. iT was soo funny , that Selesian girl looked as tho she was playing in her backyard , no intensity ,just laughing talking to passers bye even, but still winning ..

i just watched a few rallies of each match before i left...and i saw the last few rallies of this guy i know that trains at my club , he lost in round2 to a really tall guy..

today i wasnt there long......but tommorow ill have match reports cos im gonna spend the whole day there and see Dominikovic , Tanevska , Lucaszewic and a few others.....

 

[SM]

tommorow ill see
Dominikovic(5) Vs M.Tanaka
and
N.Tanevska(9) Vs S.Tanaka(2)

Hoping for Nathalie to cause an upset !...

btw ausboy , whats ur cousins name? i think i saw him today

 

[Rising Sun]

Thanks Steve.
Here's a pic of Moe (on the left):

The only thing is, she doesn't seem to be a Selesian in the pic?

 

[SM]

i added my report in the juniors forum..

danker next matchs im keen to see..
Dominikovic v Hisami?.....Danis in form
Lukaszewicz v Tanaka...goo Luka !

is Hisami any good? Tanaka's all court game is impressive , even tho she lacks power , havent seen Olivia before tho to comment.

 

[Rising Sun]

Olivia beat Shiho last week in Adelaide and went on to win the whole tourney! Hopefully Shiho will come back this time more prepared...

Kanae performed quite well at the National High School Champs last year which is quite a big deal for Japanese juniors. It should be an interesting match-up.

Would you happen to know how Yurika Sema (top seed) is doing?

There quite a few Japanese girls playing in Grade 5 ITF events the last few weeks. I think the JTA really wants to see them playing in the bigger events from next year in their last year of juniors and get their rankings higher.

No Japanese player has made the Top 50 in juniors since Aiko Nakamura.

 

[SM]

ok no prob danker ill check out that top seed , and olivia seeing they both must be contenders for the event..
