Make way for the Junior champion of the Finchley Lawn Tennis Club!
Stefanie quickly defeated a boy named Ashley (poor thing- what a name) in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3 to win the title. We were worried at first, having seen his wicked practise serve when we arrived, but it seems that Stefanie's steady playing won over Ashley's attempts to show off with smashes and fast serves.
I really felt sorry for the boy, he was definitely not having a good time of it, what with his mother and some other boys to groan at every mistake and witness his defeat. But Stefanie was being very gracious with her win, even trying to stick up for him when we got home, saying: "Maybe he was tired."
So we're really pleased for her and over the summer we'll have to see if she can beat her Mum as well. Then we'll know for sure that she's good and it wasn't just a fluke.
