Remarkably Laura Slater is the third Brit so far to secure a doubles title this week (*) and still be in with a chance of a singles title. In the absence of the Omani girl she partnered last week, Laura heavily outranks the whole field, and teamed up with the other British Laura here (Deigman) to win the do...

Laura Slater has been taking advantage of a weak field here. Laura is currently ranked around 250, the top seed (a local girl) inside 100, and everyone else outside 500.
