With the new determination Katie's been showing and the confidence her success has brought her so far this year, I'd just give her the edge over the good youngster.
And I will whisper it very quietly, but if our best women keep themselves healthy and injury free, I think we may have 5 women into a Grand Slam by right by the US Open as well as a few more battling it out in qualies. Wouldn't that be amazing.
Katie wins 6-4 6-3 according to the host website and faces a tough semi against Eleni Daniilidou next, rather than a rapid trip to Memphis for the qualis there.
