Amanda makes it 12 wins in a row in singles and doubles in the past two weeks but her next singles opponent represents a significant step up in class:

I hope she gets offered a Wimbly qualies WC now because she so deserves it.

Great stuff. Her opponent in the Final has got there by beating one player in the top 500 and 3 unranked players and her wins here are her only wins in singles at senior level since 2006.

That year, Roma beat Natasha Marks and a very young Samantha Vickers in Nottingham 10K qualifying before losing 4 & 0 to Natasha Khan in the main draw.
