Good to see 2 brits in the semis. And good to see Katy Dunne making an impact in the senior game

Anna Smith continues her mission to ensure young Jorovic has a thoroughly miserable birthday.
Having already beaten her in singles, now, with Fran Stephenson, she takes the first set in the doubles from the Serb, & her partner, .
7-6(6)

Katy Dunne's SF opponent will be Laetitia Sarrazin (FRA) [7] 618 (CH 527 02/2013) - a regular $10K QF level player.

Here is Coup Droit's summary prior to the R1 match against Jess Ren:
Laetitia is a petite girl, was previously French national champion in the 15/16 category and has played less but has been making very good progress and beat Jessica easily a couple of weeks back.

Edit: pesky quote function.

For anyone who's interested in checking out the opposition, Laetitia has posted a whole heap of youtube clips of practice sessions, i.e. :

and lots more (just type in her name).

In sum, slightly funny forehand action but excellent footwork and balance ???

Nice to see Ms Ren in an ITF final. Well done to Ms Dunne, Ms Smith and Ms Stephenson.

Both Anna & Katy's semi finals are due to begin, concurrently, any minute now.

Edit (30 minutes later...) : Obviously some delay or revision. The OOP has matches starting at 10:30, and not a drop of rain for hundreds of miles on the radar.

Internet connection went down

One step too far for Katy's heroics. But, an excellent week and the promise of more like it to follow

Just got back on-line to see another epic Anna Smith victory

Good week for Katy, but today is not the day for her famous comebacks - lost 6-2 6-1

Katy was favourite with the bookies which did seem a bit odd, but still a great week, probably a little tired.

Anna fighting back and I can see her winning this in 3.
