That's pretty impressive from Liz Thomas too. Especially after how badly Nagle beat Elliot.

What an interesting day. Tara beats WR319, and in straights (which is un Tara like). Inside the top 700 for her.

Totally not expecting Jade to beat Naomi.

QF (I think)
Broady vs Silva (por. 208),
Pavlovic (Fra, 237) vs Moore
Curtis vs Frankova (Cze, 335)
Thomas vs Piven/Borwell

Borwell beat Piven 4 & 4 so there is one all-Brit QF.

Tara's next opponent isn't unbeatable. If she's at her best, she can definitely take it.

Broady has a good chance and so does Curtis if she plays like she did against Cavaday.

*Hopefully Olivia is OK, but a broken ankle is hardly a recurring injury.

Great win from Tara!

Also great to see Sarah back in a 25K SF. Naomi had a tough match, as did Jade, so it isn't a complete shock that both lost.

Is the Tara we all want finally here? Hopefully so - she hasn't performed this well since 2006. Just needs to sort out her consistency problem and she'll be a smash hit someday.

Neuza Silva won't be easy given she reached the finals here last year, so is quite comfortable on the surface. Still, not out of her reach.

Borwell should be able to beat Frankova, I guess.

Peter too · Tennis legend

This should move Tara well inside the top 600.

I think Tara has just clicked this week.

This will probabl;y happen a lot in her career when she just storms through the draw but then the next week looses to somebody she should beat.

Good to see her jump up the rankings.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Both results as expected, then.

Thanks for them.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Good to see Sarah in a final. Only her second at this level i think?

Big step up for Tara. Should mean she'll be seeded at 10k events now.
