Jodie Burrage

[Gary D]

I've just watched her beating Frech to get into the Nottingham semi's.

I think she's got real potential. 5'9" & quite powerful with aggressive shots off both wings. Wants to get to the net, will use drive volleys if the ball's high enough. Service return is a weakness I think, & maybe outright speed, but of the female's in the 100-200 bracket she's got a lot more to her game than the others IMO.

I don't know how many, but I know she's had injuries, with effect on her ranking no doubt.

Has anyone watched much of her before?

[exislander]

Yes, I have thought she was playing impressively recently when I have seen some of her matches. Her highest ranking was just outside top 100 I think.

[JAMES4578]

certainly was a good win over Frech at this stage of the tournament. I have watched her a bit,she upset Paula Badosa at Eastbourne last year.

[Gary D]

I think she plays Elizabeth Mandlik (USA) who cuffed Camilla Giorgi next.

It is Alize Cornet who put out Mandlik today 6-3 in 3rd.

[exislander]

Jodie wins 7-5 7-5 - brilliant win for her so it will be a battle of the Brits tomorrow.

[JAMES4578]

certainly good win for Jodie against Cornet who can be tricky, well done. up against Katie who won another tight 2 setter over Heather who has also done well.

[Stell]

She admitted that Katie Boulter didn't make her play her best tennis. I think she was correct.

[JAMES4578]

Katie Boulter had her under pressure throughout the match so well done katie! Jodie though did not have her best day and had hoped for more resistance - still a very positive week!

[Gary D]

Yeah, I was disappointed, - she looked outgunned. I think her service return is a weakness.

[suttontennis]

Although Katy won the final, deservedly so, Jodi had arguably the better week by beating four higher ranked non Brits.

[Gary D]

I've just checked the H2H......played 3 times (now) & Boulter has won all of them, - yesterday's being the most comfortable.

[JAMES4578]

unfortunately Jodie lost to Harriet Dart in Birmingham but a close one 4-6,6-2,7-5. Katie Boulter also went out to Zhu.

Quite a cool handshake or did I misread that?
