Shame.
Thank you so much for the scores and info - much appreciated smile

Barthel has been playing well, but Anne had her chances to break. Shame.
This means Heather has consolidated her no.2 status. Will Anne ever get it back?

Dubs about to start. Hev's partner is tiny.... looks quite drowned by her kit bag !

Not sure I'm going to stay though

Can you give us an update on who Heather might play next. Beck?

Thanks for today, Julia. Hope you enjoyed it.:)

Kremer from what I saw at Nottingham is very slenderly built.

Thanks so so much for the updates, beyond the call of duty, but very much appreciated.

Sorry, that court was out of my view latterly.

It was a pleasure to do the updates. Nice to share cry

Beck wins.

Battle of the young 'uns next then. Though Beck is a couple years younger.

Despite Anne's loss today, it seems very likely that we will have three women in the top 100 on Monday.

Beck is having the best week of her career so far (a 50K SF her previous best) - Hev has played her once before, as a junior, beating her 4 & 5 in the last 16 at USO juniors in 2009, the year she won the title - it really was more than 2 years ago that she won it!

Heather and partner, Broady and partner both lost their dubs.
Konta and Elliot in final.

No surprise there, Broadz and Hev slightly fatigued I would think.
Nice for JoKo and Mandy though who were a last minute deadline teamup.

That's unexpected result. Konta is ranked 536 in doubles and Elliot 594, not a pairing you would expect to see in a $75K final.

Now they just have to go on and beat Kohler and Marosi.

Darn, I can't make my mind up about going tomorrow.
I'm working till 10.30pm tonight. So it's going to be pretty last minute.

Do they have actual seating there, or is it just a balcony?
