hannah weber finds a new way to lose to daniel okafor: politely, in straights
Daniel Okafor beat Hannah Weber 6-3, 7-5 and is now 4-0 against her. At this point it's less a rivalry than a subscription. Hannah briefly remembered how to hit a forehand in the second set, then forgot again at 5-5, when her nerves quit before her racket did. At least husband Tom Fletcher can drive her home, and that car ride should be gloriously silent.
Daniel sits eighth on 10 points, level with Hannah but ahead on wins and one point behind Clara Dubois, whom he hasn't faced yet. Leader Lukas Horvat (19) is a distant rumour. The real date to circle is Oliver Grant (18), his long-time title rival, still unplayed this season. Beating Hannah is routine. Oliver won't be.
