In both of these matches, she was tested by strong players but was able to use her powerful groundstrokes and serve effectively. She also demonstrated intelligent shot selection and mental toughness in these matches.

Last week he was 11\/18 against Wilbraham and Monson, and 10\/12 against Hopkins.
