Week 38 - ITF ($10K) - Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt - Hard


L32: (7) Laura Deigman WR 955 v Andressa Cristina Souza (BRA) WR 1184 (CH 1140 in Apr)

The Brazilian got her ranking back today but has lost to Brits the last two weeks, Fran beating her 3 & 0 last week and Anna double bagelling her the week before, so Laura is on a GB hat-trick, as it were

QF : Laura DEIGMAN (GBR) / Anastasiya SHESTAKOVA (UKR) [4] def. Miriam Ruth LANE (USA) / Parris TODD (USA) 6-4 6-3

SF : Laura DEIGMAN (GBR) / Anastasiya SHESTAKOVA (UKR) [4] v Viktoriya BOGOSLOVSKAYA (RUS) / Evgeniya SVINTSOVA (RUS)


The Russian pair got a w/o against the number two seeds so a good chance for Laura and Anastasiya to make the final . . .
