Just to add my thanks, too.

Thanks, wolf, excellent write-up.

I hope nobody from here gets put off going to events by the thought of having to do reports up to this standard. LOL (of course, they don't have to at all, they can just enjoy the tennis, but it's really cool whenever people can be bothered to go into that much detail)

yeah fabulous report wolf !! I was also very impressed with Anna Smith when I saw her play indoors a while back, she has an amazing backhand. Was quite surprised she didn't do better on grass

Hopefully whatever the injury is it isn't serious. It would be silly if she's messed up her doubles tournament over a singles match.

Excellent win for Laura.

And good effort from Sam Vickers. Hope Yasmin can win her match. Big opportunity for her. Thought Amanda Elliott might have pushed Elena a bit harder than that.

Arvidsson result?

No real injury, she did recieve some treatment at the end of the first set, nothing serious, no strapping, and no restriction in movement.

Afraid I don't know Sofia's result.

I'm hoping Katie can pull through, but I bet it goes to three sets.
