Disappointed that Katie wasn't more competitive today, expected that match to be much closer. Hopefully she can make another QF or better next week.

Em lost.

I see Bruzzone has made the final comfortably. Maybe she is not overranked...

Interesting to see that so many of our 'Challenger' players have such trouble when they step down to Futures again.

Frankly, Em's done pretty well - a far better showing than Alex Ward or Dan Cox did in their recent 'Back to the Futures' efforts . . .

A title and winners' cup for Katie !
