How can it be a first semi if she won in El Salvador? Was it a doubles title?

It was a doubles title.

Interesting that juniors can get SEs in singles for going deep in doubles, unless she got it because she reached the singles QFs there instead.

The juniors have combined rankings and SEs are available equally for singles and doubles involvement. The rule for Special Exempts is:

"Players on the Qualifying Acceptance List who apply for and receive exemption from the Qualifying event because they are still competing at a Qualified Tournament on the day the Qualifying event begins.

A Qualified Tournament is the singles and/or doubles event of another ITF Junior Circuit tournament of the same grade, a higher grade or one grade lower, within the same region (or a bordering country not in the same region, eg Russia/Kazakhstan) in the preceding week."

I bet Dave Rice would like this to be brought into the pro-level rules!

A maiden singles final for Katie but a retirement in doubles, which if Katie, is hopefully precautionary. In the final she plays a Bollettieri student who reached the final of her first ITF a couple of months ago.

(SE) Katie Swan (GBR) v Nandini Das (IND)

 Yes - it's a battle between two 14 year olds in the final

What an awful thing to happen. I feel for her and her family having something that sudden and serious happen when she is so far from home. Hope she gets good care and gets well soon.
