Outside these 3 qualifying wins, Laura has accumulated 62 points, Heather 119 points. I've actually made the comparison look better from Laura's angle by including points not yet added to the official rankings


That's not really a fair comparison either. I agree the GS qualifying points are over-inflated but that's no reason to ignore them completely. If you halve them to make it more in-line with the difficulty of comparable ITF events. you'd get 107 vs 119, and considering Heather has had a few more tournaments from which to gain points, it means they really aren't that far apart.

Anyway, I think the best way to settle this debate would be for them both to win another 2 matches this week!

An interesting stat for all you stat lovers, that is the first time Laura has won 3 consecutive matches on the senior tour since November 2008.

I love the way the lines persons are responsible for changing the balls during the match and then collecting the balls at the end of the match. Why couldn't they help the players out a little during the match ?

"Because, like, we're not paid to do THAT. That's not hot."

A poster on TF stated Perry is out of singles. Would be nice for Laura I guess.

I wonder if that means Laura/Heather's doubles will now start in 30 minutes?

I noticed that the last doubles match wasn't shown earlier on. Maybe they will show 2 doubles matches for their evening session. Be a bit gutted if we don't get to see Heather and Laura.

Just had a thought won't a lucky loser come in to replace Perry, assuming of course they haven't all left by now.

6 o'clock news now on live feed. There will be an update on the tennis at some stage during the bulletin. Once over I assume they will show a live feed of the tennis.

I hope so!

If Laura could make the QF here, and have a strong show next week I see the top 250 before Wimbledon a very real possibility.
