A chance for Bally to exact revenge for the US Open!
Paula FONDEVILLA-CASTRO (ESP) d. Amanda ELLIOTT (GBR) 6/1 5/7 6/1
Doubles
Eva BIRNEROVA (CZE)- Lucie HRADECKA (CZE) d. Elena BALTACHA (GBR)- Amanda ELLIOTT (GBR) 6/2 6/4
No news yet on whether Amanda got an LL - in my previous post I forgot that this is an ITF rather than WTA event, so they will draw from the final round losers (under WTA rules Amanda would get one).
No revenge for Bally unfortunately, with Julie Coin continuing the form which saw her win a $50K title in France last week. According to the host website:
(8) Julie COIN (FRA) d. Elena BALTACHA ( GBR) 7/6 6/4
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
