TOP SEED Emma Devine, 14, from Edinburgh, is through to the quarter finals of the HSBC Road to Wimbledon tennis tournament after overwhelming her latest opponent.
In the round of the last 16 Emma defeated Farrah Abdul-Aziz, from Stockton-on-Tees, 6-0, 6-0 to set up a meeting with Hampshire's Alexia Yannaros.
Emma, who is due to enrol shortly at a new tennis academy in Belgium set up by former world No.1 Justine Henin and her coach, Carlos Rodriguez, qualified to play in this week's tournament at Wimbledon by winning a Scottish area final.
At stake will be a training bursary presented by HSBC ambassador, Tim Henman.
