Week 28 - WTA International $235K - Båstad, Sweden - Clay
(Preview)
R1: Nicola Slater (GBR) & Diana Marcinkevica (LAT) 346 vs. Irina Buryachok (UKR) & Anna Tatisvili (GEO) 183 [4] Good luck Nik! I'd have said it was a good draw as Tatishvili has been in awful form, but she just made the doubles final last week in Budapest. Serena is playing singles here inte...

Before I start I do not want to cause any offence or target Webley-Smith (She is the case study for my question here more than anything!). I enjoy following tennis reasonably closely but I wanted to come on here to find out a little bit more and get some questions answered. Webley-Smith started playing...

Report and reaction from Lisa and Nik's doubles match

Encouraging performances from both players - the way Lisa rallied well with Cornet from the back of the court has, I'm sure, I'm sure has given her confidence for singles. And Nik should take a lot away from the match. She was by far the best player on the court at the net imo, if a little inconsistent at ti...
