Hofmanova def. Babos 1-6, 6-0, 6-3

Both of the players' strokes are so similar. :rolls: My heart goes out to Timea. :awww: She could've easily been through to the semifinals instead of Nikola. A lot of the coin tosses went against her. :hug: Some simple advice I can hand to Timea is to vary her strokes more especially her second set. :hug: Nikola continues her good form. :yeah:

Hesse def. Mladenovic 6-2, 7-6[5]

Very high quality match! :worship: Amandine wins the all-Frenchie duel! :eek: She really wants that wildcard to play in her home country at Strasbourg. :lol: Amandine started off very strongly to take the first handily. But the second set was a complete battle. :drool: Kristina basically played at the same level as Amandine but she played too many drop shots. :hug: Who will Amandine play in the final?

Montez def. Hofmanova 3-6, 6-4, 6-2

Same scoreline as in Trinidad. :p Again Nikola won the trivial coin tosses while Pamela won the important ones. :shrug: :hug: Maybe if Nikola won some of the important coin tosses in the second set she may actually get a win off of Pam. :) Or she can try and change up her strategy a tad bit which is something I really advise to all of the players. :) Now we got our dream final of Hesse vs. Montez. :drool: And to Pam's coach, please send me some more pictures of your player. :secret:

The final between Hesse and Montez will be up soon w/ live scores! :D

Thanks Karat! Doing a great job. :hearts: :D

GAME, SET, CHAMPIONSHIP PAMELA MONTEZ!
6-3, 0-6, 6-2

And the rivalry begins...:drool: Round 1 goes to Pamela. :drool: First of all, Pamela continues her win streak and currently is at 5! :yeah: She is also the first player to have beaten Amandine in a tournament this season. :eek: Congratulations to Pam on winning the Strasbourg Wildcard! Amandine. :sobbing: :sad: There will be a tournament next week during the week of Strasbourg so you can make up some ground there. :hug:

Pam. :yeah: :)

Pam. :yeah: :)

Natash. :hug:

I don't know how ViennaCalling is going to hand out the FO wildcard(s), but I hope that he does decide to give it more than one player... Because Montez will be playing at Strasbourg and won't have a chance to play in the tournament for the FO Wildcard. Would you agree? :)

My opinion is that we should give one to each of the top 4 juniors. Would you agree with that idea as well? Though I would still run a tournament in the week of Strasbourg though. :)

I think your right. Pam should get one as well. :) Top 4 juniors sounds good to me. Maybe that tournament winner for the week of Strasbourg can get one for the tournament after the French Open?

Yeah, that would be a great idea! :D

We have to wait for ViennaCalling to confirm though. Hopefully he agrees. :) :hug:

Well, i think it´s not that good if i give 4 WC´s to Junior Players. Everytime you win a Junior Tournament you will receive a WC for the next Senior tournament.

If you win a Junior-GS you will get a WC for the next Senior GS (for a win in Paris you get a WC for Wimbledon and so on).

At least i will give a WC to Montez and Hesse, because they played already 1 senior event.

Pam. :yeah: :)

Thanks it was an increible match:worship::worship::worship:... I can actually believe that I won my second Junior tournament already, after a really bad star... Congrats Natash and I really think that the FO WC it's already your's 100% no matter what... :worship::D
