Well that was a shockingly astonishing tie break for Anna and Nicole. 6-0 up and they failed to convert all 6 match points, and then they lost the next two points in a row. I thought they'd won that match and was about to congratulate them. Now I wonder whether they can recover from that huge blow to their confidence in the MTB.

I'm sure they'll recover; they're far too good to let a bad few minutes affect them for too long. Pity about that bad few minutes, though!

Well they have managed it, so good for them 12-10 in the MTB, and they had at least 1 MP against them - after which I didn't dare look any longer fearing I would bring them more bad luck! smilebiggrin

And that heart stopper with the additional 60 points it brings Anna also moves her up to 63 in the live rankings, and a new CH. So congrats to her. Also interesting that she has chosen to play the last two weeks away from the GB limelight.

755 points ( and counting ) since late April, practically enough in themselves to get you into the top 100, and one further win here would be.

What a rollercoaster!
Well done to Anna & Nicole on managing to beat even more 'proper players'.

Serving for a straight sets win over Groenefeld/Peschke, who have been playing together for about a thousand years at the top of womens doubles.
6-4 *5-4

Anna Nicole dispatch the 3seeds, Groenfeld/Pesche, who are the 8th team in the Race, 6-4, 6-4.

Anna moves up to a provisional CH of 61.

Probably will face Hingis/Chan in the SF.

Well done them again, proving adaptable in beating good doubles pairs and proper tennis players alike. I think they're proving to be quite good

Might be just a dream but who knows??

Anna and Nicole were in 38th place for Race to Singapore at the start of the week. 1230 points behind the 8th placed team who as Wimbledont has said are  Groenfeld and Pesche.

110 points so far this week.
