Anna will play the winner of Katie's match in the qf - so could have a guaranteed GB semi-finalist.

I stand corrected then, should never rely on whats on top of your head.

I knew Cav had come back from 3 - 5  0 - 40 in the final set.  Daily Mail man says it took 9 match points in all to see her off.

Not bad at the end of the day with 3 GB players into the quarter finals, certainly a lot better than it was looking at one stage.

We had 3 seeded to make the quarter finals, just basically Anna has made it instead of Cav.

Katie's maybe not playing great, but she is pulling out some comeback wins.

Katie now playing Anna in the QFs and Laura playing Babos, two interesting matches.

Great fightback by Katie and Laura/Lisa probably as expected.
Babos win not a complete shock, and should give Laura a decent chance to make the semis.
Laura now realistically the favourite for the title on form shown so far.

Maza did say "interesting" while I was editing in the QF info, so we kind of simultaneously found it interesting, which I reckon's the word   smile

With Pakistan 148 all out at Lords, not a happy day for the Malik family.

I wouldn't say Laura is a clear favourite - I'd only give her just over 50/50 for her next match. Timea is at a career high singles + doubles and hasn't had the wildcards that Laura has, so the rankings gap is probably bigger than the skill gap. There didn't look a lot between them when they played in the doubles at Wimbledon. However, whoever wins that match would my favourite for the tournament.

At least Lisa enjoyed her encounter with the Mail man.

Laura is a class above Babos at her best. I also watched that junior doubles match and felt when both players played rallies backwards and forth to the other, Babos was breaking down eventually. I also remember an interview Babos gave during the Aussie open when it appeared to me she was slightly in awe of Laura. However we all know Laura can have her offdays so we'll have to wait and see. I would make the match 70/30 in Laura's favour.

Laura has to be considered favourite for this match in my eyes. Could be close though. Expect Laura to be British #4 in a fortnights time.
