That's magnificent Amanda. Twice coming back from a set down in a day! BSM may not be as mobile as when she won the DFS Classic in 1992, but she is still a frightening prospect as she booms down her serves from the height of a giraffe, and still good enough to win Surbiton last year.
Jeez, she's come a long way in the last fourteen months. I remember when I first followed her - the Junior tourneys in South America and France last year, and she didn't do well enough to even suggest that she'd be good enough for Challengers in a year's time.
Been away this weekend, just read through the thread. Some very promising results here, thanks to everyone who updated the scores.

Seen with the rankings this week Katie is up to 104, so would a win today push her into the top 100? At least for one week anyway until her Eastborne point come off
