Lucy was a break down in a flash but suddenly reeled off 7 (SEVEN) games in a row and it's now 6-3 1-0*

Excellent win from Lucy. Nice to end her Greek jaunt playing well. Good luck in the semis . . .

QF: BROWN, Lucy (GBR) 7 619 def. LEE, Pei-Chi (TPE) 4 455 (= CH) 6-3 6-1

18-year-old Lee was the runner-up last week.

I make it that Lucy may just creep back into the top 600 with that win (right on the cusp).

Nice to see Lucy putting a few wins together. About time.

Top seed in the semi, but the Spaniard lost to Lee last week and EWS in Shrewsbury so not as bad as it looks.

That looks like a really good win

SF: BROWN, Lucy (GBR) 7 619 v PARRIZAS-DÍAZ, Nuria (ESP) 1 408 (CH 389 in Sep)

They have met once before, in Wrexham in July this year ... and Lucy won! 6-3 2-6 7-6(3)

So, Lucy and Richard continue in tandem to take Greece by storm - SF in singles and Final in the doubles and still in the counting:

SF : Lucy BROWN (GBR) / Alina WESSEL (GER) [1] def. Nozomi FUJIOKA (JPN) / Tanaporn THONGSING (THA) 6-4 6-4

I'd say that losing the first 3 games and then winning 12 of the last 13 against WR 455 looks rather impressive.

I thought that early in the year Lucy was playing fairly well, but not getting much rub of the green and the ranking points she probably deserved. Then she did seem to lose a bit of form ( confidence ? ) for a while. So this is good to see.

May Lucy take care if she ventures past WR 600 though. That vast wilderness in the 500s, 400s and indeed most of the 300s, is a cold, uninviting place for British women, the only woman currently being seen in there is Emily.

I suggest that Lucy steels herself and makes strides to go deep into this wilderness, indeed to reach in time a place she has never reached before, and move towards that beacon that Emily holds in the lower 400s. For if one woman enters into this vast landscape and survives, maybe more will follow in time.

Go for it, Lucy !

Pity. But an encouraging week for Lucy.
