30-15, cummon Laura, this time.

Scores seem to have frozen. Hope all's OK.

Well done Laura (and I'm getting used to writing that at the moment!). Bit of a nervy finish (perhaps more for us than for her) but another fantastic win.

Nice work Laura, scourge of the Chinese! biggrin biggrin biggrin

They do say that soon after finishing off a chinese, you feel like another one - and I'm sure Laura will be hungry for more success tomorrow!!

Great win, confidence is no doubt soaring, got very tight myself at 5-3 30-30, but needn't worried.

Peng tomorrow again a very tough assignment, Robbo easily being in the toughest quarter of the draw. Should be a nother night match so again around 11 our time.

Well done Laura, very impressive. And well done the bookies who seemed to have more faith in Laura than most of us wink I guess they judged that she looked to have found a new higher consistent level. Sooo good if she has.

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

Another tough match, I think if she can get through it she should be in the final and that would certainly be deserved! Times are definitely getting exciting for Laura, I think shes gone from being happy to win a match to eyeing up trophies in these sort of events as she showed earlier in the clay.

Bring on tommorrow!!

As the first to quote the odds I'll gladly hold my hands up and say I was wrong and the bookies were right (again). If this is already Laura's level that she can play to consistently then it's pretty incredible as at this level she is beating lots of players in the top 30 (I think 5 since July).

Well done Laura.

Let's hope she doesn't spend 5 hours in doping control like last time !!!
