Alas, a step too far for Manisha today, but well done on getting through 3 rounds of qualies and the 1st round of the MD. Also regaining a WR and last but not least leaping onto Stevens top 25 table on the 15/7. wink

R2: FOSTER, Manisha (GBR) UNR lost to BENOIT, Marie (BEL) 5 613 3-6 4-6. cry

I thought Manisha would get hammered today but she lost the first set 6-3 and is currentyl 4-4 in the second, having fought back.

She'll still probably lose but it's already a very creditable performance.

Yes, well done to her. She got broken but then had at least two break-back points (and saved several MP) in a very long final game. Nice to see some upward movement on Steven's women's chart.
