Disappointing for Lisa, but hopefully Tara can now come through that quarter. Looks like she will probably have to play pretty well to beat Ejdesgaard if they meet.
Well, I did predict that Tara wouldn't beat Lisa in the quarters
Unranked qualifier Hannah James upset no. 6 seed Emelyn Starr (AUS) 4 & 0 - an astonishing result! (something must surely have been up with Starr, but even so ...)
Another unranked qualifier Elisha Hande took the 1st set off no. 2 seed Isabella Holland (AUS) too but the Aussie then woke up and won 2-6 6-0 6-2.
But Starr found her second wind in the doubles, while Holland (& Edjesgaard) lost theirs! Something up with Lisa? Good day for Hannah!

If the doubles does go with seedings then it would the same 4 players as in the Frinton final last year, although the pairings where Starr and Fitzy v Rae and Windley. Surely they can't have happened too often, the same players in a final but a different combination of the 4!

Ha, Steven's taking his time with this one
LOL it's a) doubles, so not something I'm going to have remembered, and b) almost impossible to check. I'm impressed Josh remembered that the same four players played in the Frinton Final last year!
