I have no more information than you, Pocky. She won the Tier 2 event at Edgebaston this year, but hasn't played many events at this level. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection with fellow Essex team members Aimee Gibson and possibly Eden Silva though.

Thanks, Ive noticed a few forays at British Tour level where shes done well so was surprised that shes not played a senior event or many junior events... maybe she just likes playing tennis and has no ambitions beyond that which is fair enough.

In the semis, Tiegan defeated Camille as Camille had to retire after one set.

Tamara came through a long three-setter against Dani Hack.

So it's Tiegan v Tamara in the final

FINAL: Andre Lukosiute def. Destinee Martins 6-3 6-1

In the Tier 1 event at Paddington, Alicia Barnett WTA 531, is top seed.

It's a pretty skinny draw though, apart from that, especially for a tier 1, a lot of byes, and not much depth in the field.
