She was top seed and fought hard all week to reach the final against Elise Tse from Auckland. They played a 3 set match, which went for 2 hrs 45 mins. Jade won the 1st set, Elyse took the 2nd, so that set them up for the decider which Jade won. Final score 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Congratulations Jade, and we believe you are now ranked in the top 200 junior women players in the world!

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
