Your comments are odd at the best of times.

I don't think these doubles results have yet been recorded:

QF: Tara Moore & Mel South WR 612 defeated Nadia Abdalá (MEX) & Sabrina Bamburac WR 1277 by 4 & 4

QF: (3) Nicha Lertpitaksinchai & Peangtam Plipuech (THA/THA) WR 559 defeated (WC) Michaela Frlicka (GER) & Eden Silva UNR by 2 & 5

QF: Ivonne Cavalle (ESP) & Nicola Slater WR 1284 defeated (4) Anna Fitzpatrick & Jade Windley WR 593 by 1-6 6-1 [15-13] - can't argue about the symmetry there... disbelief bleh

QF: Daneika Borthwick & Lisa Whybourn WR 1176 defeated Sarah Borwell & Ruth Seaborne WR 1942 by 0-6 6-3 [10-3]

*****

SF: Tara Moore & Mel South WR 612 lost to (3) Nicha Lertpitaksinchai & Peangtam Plipuech (THA/THA) WR 559 by 6-2 4-6 [8-10]

SF: Ivonne Cavalle (ESP) & Nicola Slater WR 1284 defeated Daneika Borthwick & Lisa Whybourn WR 1176 by 4 & 2

*****

Final: (3) Nicha Lertpitaksinchai & Peangtam Plipuech (THA/THA) WR 559 vs Ivonne Cavalle (ESP) & Nicola Slater WR 1284

So only a 25% Brit interest in the final. disbelief Better than the singles, I suppose... cry

For the sake of completeness:

Final: (3) Nicha Lertpitaksinchai & Peangtam Plipuech (THA/THA) WR 559 defeated Ivonne Cavalle (ESP) & Nicola Slater WR 1284 by 2 & 5 cry

Care to elaborate?

Tara is 19, has just equalled her best ever points haul reaching a round beyond her seeding and you think it's "very disappointing"

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Because she lost 1 and 3 to the kind of player she should be beating in order to keep moving.

With Taras talent she should be looking at winning 25ks by now

Laura is 18 and in the top 100. Heather the same age as Tara and was inside the top 100 at a younger age than Tara is now.

So are you very disappointed that all our 19 year olds aren't in the top 100?

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

I agree with Mervaton. Tara has always stood out as an excellent ball striker and whilst the top 100 is hardly a fair marker of satisfaction, I would have hoped 150-200 by now.

SMC1809 · All-time great

So did you also think Tara should not have lost to the top seed, someone ranked about 150 places higher, who then went on to take the title?

Personally, I would've loved to see Tara win, but to discribe her performance as "very disappointing" is deluded and an insult to both Tara & Gronert.
