Steven, Am I right in thinking you were also at the Wimbledon match where Ems was so close to winning. Zakopalova perhaps?


Yes, that's right - 8-6 in the 3rd. She was very impressive that day.

7-5 to Emily - that's 5/6 sets she has played so far this week that have gone past 5-5! (she has also won 5/6 sets too )

QF: (1) Emily Webley-Smith WR 450 beat Karina Isayan (RUS) WR 668 (= CH) by 5 & 4

This is the first time Emily has made a singles SF this year, though she has mainly been playing 25Ks rather than 10Ks which makes it less surprising.

SF: (1) Emily Webley-Smith WR 450 v (WC) Rebecca Peterson (SWE) UNR

Peterson is a top 50 junior who has had a WTA ranking before but is having by far her best week in seniors so far.

Roma beat 2nd seed Melander (another member of the Swedish FC squad v GB, if I remember right) today, also 7-5 in the 3rd. She won a 10K in Tampere in July but this is only her 2nd ITF since then. Amanda Carreras thrashed her 1 & 2 in Ystad in June and Eleanor Dean beat her in R2 here last year then in R1 the following week!

And just broken again. Either Rebecca has got used to Emily's serve, or Em is not, for some reason, able to produce the quality she was in the 1st set.
