Seems like a good performance in defeat.

That does look like a very decent performance from Harriet and she has been playing to a consistently encouraging level.

Indeed she now has a full 16 ranking counters with nothing to defend until December. Although that does mean that in 10Ks she will now need to reach at least the QF to improve her ranking points total.

Harriet, back on court with Jess in doubles, and back against Kramperova too,and, again takes the first set. 6-2
Let's hope for a different result than the singles.

No worries; they romped home.
