Emily Smith's success in Israel has resulted in her becoming top seed for the third event, but Mason Recci's luck remains out - he has drawn the top seed in round 1 or 2 every time.
Good effort by Mason but to no avail. He has the consolation of a doubles semifinal (Emily reaches the same stage as top seed in doubles). Emily's second round opponent came close to a top 100 scalp in the Israel G2, so won't be a pushover.
Emily's opponent unfortunately did prove troublesome, just leaving her with a doubles final. Oddly the final features two Pribylova siblings - on opposite sides of the net.
