It seems unbelievable, but the grass tennis season is already underway. A WTA 125 and an ATP Challenger are currently taking place in Birmingham, offering plenty of incentives. The first big surprise of the year in this grass court circuit was delivered by the 17-year-old British player, Mingge Xu, currently ranked 24th in the junior circuit, who defeated Alycia Parks. The American was eliminated on Thursday at Roland Garros and arrived in Birmingham with hardly any time to adapt to the grass, as has been demonstrated.
She's done it!!!!!! What a start to the grass season 💚
