Boserup is on a 6-match losing streak stretching back to early August, though some of the losses have been close and to very good players.
edit: updated with 29 Oct rankings - Samantha was ranked 116 places below Boserup when the seedings were done but is not ranked 19 places ahead of her, a swing of 135 places in a week!

On recent form, it would have been a bit of a shock if Sam hadn't won that fairly easily - still, impressive scoreline

L32: Samantha Murray WR 282 beat (8) Julia Boserup (USA) WR 301 (CH 174 in Apr) by 3 & 1

L16: Samantha Murray WR 282 v Michaela Honcova (SVK) WR 284 (= CH)

Sam beat Honcova 2 & 4 in R2 at Saguenay last week.

The battle for 7th Brit in terms of YTD points (ignoring the best 16 rules for now) is, as of tonight:

156 Lisa
152 Naomi
148 Samantha

Samantha maintaining her excellent late season burst again!

Sam was seeded in the doubles, but lost. Maybe no bad thing.
