 No, I believe she trains there for her tennis but she's still at Wimbledon High

I think she just trains there at the weekend with Ben Haran. It has excellent facilities and isn't too far away.

I know we've discussed this before but can someone please remind me how many senior tournaments Hannah is allowed to play each year and how that will change after her next birthday. She currently has four counters so I'm guessing she won't have many more left?

 There is a brilliant post on here somewhere from Matt James, explaining exactly how this works - but I can't find it now. Maybe someone else can point us in the right direction.

 It was about Mimi and is in the Glasgow womens event thread!

Before her 15th birthday, she can play 8 events at which she gets a counter, of which no more than 3 can be at ITF 60k or above. She's not allowed to enter WTA events, except for one 250 with a WC. She can have 3 WCs from which she gets a counter with restrictions to which level of tournaments each can be used.
She's got 4 tournaments and 1 WC remaining.

From her 15th birthday she can enter 10 events at which she gets a counter, with no restrictions on what those tournaments are. She will have 3 WCs, of which only one can be used for a WTA 1000 or 500.

Grand Slams don't count towards WCs but do count towards the number of events played.

 Thank you Lambda.  That's really interesting and very helpful

 Who actually creates these rules? I assume they are designed to protect the young person, but they seem incredibly complex and not streamlined. There presumably must be an easier way of achieving the same aim, which presumably is ultimately just a limit on the number of matches and events a young player plays at pro level?

 Brilliant.

Just for completeness, Hannah's birthday is Feb. 18th (she'll be 15 in 2024)

I had the pleasure of watching Hannah play a few matches at Shrewsbury a few weeks ago.
I heard she was good but i didnt realise this good.
If she was 19 we would still be looking at her as an impressive talent.
I think coco gauff has always been an unbelievable athlete but as a tennis player Hannah is better at 14 with the chance of being just as good an athlete.
Really exited about this one.

10th Dec 2023

Hannah, age 14, won the J500 Orange Bowl

She's the first British girl ever to do so, and joins Coco Gauff as - I believe - the only 14 year-old winner

She beat Tyra Caterina Grant, 15, of the United States 6-3 6-3, having previously beaten the top seed in the QFs
