Oliver Golding was a late withdrawal here, leaving British interest with Natalie Beazant and Fran Stephenson. Both have testing but winnable opening matches
R1 (L64)
(Q) Mayya Katsitadze (RUS) v (16) Natalie Beazant (GBR) (14) Yuliya Lysa (UKR) v Francesca Stephenson (GBR)
I don't have any scores yet, but it appears from the oop that Natalie and Fran have become the first all-British girls team to reach a Grade 1 final this year
Congratulations to Natalie and Fran on their first Grade 1 title. While several girls such as Heather, Laura and Jade Curtis have won Grade 1 doubles titles, I can't recall an all-British pairing doing so in recent years.
