And Lucy and Hilda win the MTB 10- 7 !

well done to both of them - a winner's trophy is always great . . .

F : Lucy BROWN (GBR)/Hilda MELANDER (SWE) [1] defeat Nastja KOLAR (SLO)/Polona REBERSAK (SLO) 3-6 6-3 (10-7)

Hopefully the doubles title amounts to a significant portion of the $10 prize fund, maybe enough for a bag of crisps.

Now, now. . . .

I think that the winners get USD 637, so USD 318 each.

Which is not HUGE, I grant you, but does pay for a few bags of crisps . . ..

(NB I'm not a mega doubles fan but, having made the trip out to Innsbruck and lost in the first round, at least it's nice that she's won a trophy and paid for a bit of the costs smile - and, who knows, maybe it'll do her confidence or whatever a power of good and she'll do better in the singles as a result . . .)

I think Josh's post was related to the thread title rather than any criticism of doubles tennis.
