Daniella Britton


As I recall, Emma's main journey towards top tennis started with a J5 she won at age 13 (nearly 14) 

So Dani Britton deserves a thread 

She's born at the end of November so it very young for the year, and only a couple of months older than some of the best 2011s

She's a tall girl, and because of that, perhaps, a little slow to react or move, at times. But she's got a lot of power. And also can take the ball out of the air, can volley, do drop shots

She's been part of the LTA's 'elite' team for a while 

Last week she won her first ITF title, the doubles at the J30 in Latvia

This week, she's gone one better and won the singles title 

She should be up to approx JWR 1200 next week

This week, Dani won the J60 singles title AND doubles title in Finland

Still only 13

This is the first time she's stepped up to J60 level - and very successfully too

This also is to add to her two other singles titles this autumn (both at J30 level)

And one other doubles titles, at J30

Daniella is now nearly in the top-500:

JWR 564 (+335)

And that makes her 25th best in the world, for her age (based on calendar years and not taking into account that she is born late 2010)

Great start. Interested to see how she does this week in Liverpool. We have the opportunity of a Dani vs Megan SF but both would need to reach that first.

She had her mum and her coach from West Hants with her this week.

Should see a big jump in the rankings next week and another in January.

In the above, Daniella lost to Megan in three sets

But she has now broken into the top-500

JWR 480 (+83)

Using calendar years, that makes her 24th in the world for her age (there are 22 girls born in 2010 above her, and 2 born in 2011). However, Dani is born at the end of the year and six months, say, can make quite a lot of difference at this age (not only in terms of growth and tennis, but simply in terms of number of events allowed to be played)

She is 18th of the 2010 girls, with two 2011-ers above her
