Emma Raducanu has been drawn against Mimi Xu from Swansea in the first round. A very talented 17 year old. Good luck Mimi.

Tagger beat Xu in straight sets in the Australian girls, Tagger beat Klugman two and love in the French open girls final and I thought last year Klugman was going to be the best of the young British 3 (she is the youngest) although US open winner Mika did beat Klugman surviving match points I believe to win the British girls indoors I think.
Perhaps Tagger hasn't seen a grass court until this season who knows as she is an Austrian living in Italy.

I looked at the draw at the start of Wimbledon girls and without checking again so Xu (who did beat proper pros in the warm up tournaments prior to Wimbledon) will have to beat #3 seed Tagger in the Quarters, fellow Brit #2 Klugman in the semis and #1 Jones in the final if the seeds keep on winning.


Tagger has played on grass 10 times with 7 wins and 3 losses.

It turns out Tagger lost in the first round of the girls last year but had won some matches in qualifying that is why she is up to 10 matches total on grass.

It sounds like a tough match for Mimi but one she must have a good chance.

It's the 3 losses on grass I'm looking at, with a win rate of 70% on grass she can be beaten. She has lost a third of all the games she has played on grass and Mimi has more Wimbledon experience, the court hasn't been allocated yet, this could be telling with a home crowd.

The experience she has gained playing juniors in previous Wimbledons and the big game atmosphere she gained playing Raducanu will stand here in good stead. Throw in the home crowd she has a fighting chance.

Totally agree. Shes come on leaps and bounds. I think we should as Welsh and Swansea sports people be extremely proud.

Also hope she has a successful career and makes an absolute mint. I see so many parents of youngsters put so much effort and finance into entering their very talented kids into competitions throughout the UK.

Happens in all sports mate. In life there are parents who will and parents who won't, it's often the difference. It's not social background it's more family commitment.

Yes you're totally right mate. I've know doubt Wendy and Tony have put unlimited time and fiance in. Not sure how it works when they get to a certain standard. Sponsorship , financial backing? So many players on the circuit scrape a living. Remember I think it was Dustin Brown lived out of his camper van. Played elimanters hoping to get to the main event for a pay day .

I love Wimbledon, but that woman Clare Balding spoils it for me, she got zero personality and she's just so intense when she talks it's like she was a player herself.

Annabel Croft should have had that gig after Sue Barker.

Why would anyone move from Glynneath ?, it's astounding really no doubt it's for her husbands job.
Normally people move out of Swansea like Llansamlet girl Ruth Madoc moved up to Glynneath.
I feel sorry for Mel.
