Eleanor's stunning comeback continues (she's now 17-2 in singles this year!) ... her next opponent's run to the Final as an unranked qualifier must have been pretty special too!
SF: Eleanor Dean WR 922 beat Deborah Kerfs (BEL) WR 882 (CH 867 in Nov) by 4 & 0
FINAL: Eleanor Dean WR 922 v (Q) Lena Reichel (AUT) UNR (16yo junior WR 306)

Nice to see Eleanor in control of her service games. No bps faced. Won 75% of her service points. Previous round she was just broken the once. Winning 2/3 of her service points.
Looks like the match has been awarded to Eli on a retirement.
5-1 first set. One way traffic anyway.
Her third career pro title (that 3 times the number of our #1 ranked player BTW) and her second this year since her comeback from 2-3 years of almost permanent injury. Talented young lady.
Will be very interesting to see who is our #1 player in 3 years time....injury concerns aside, I'd put a sneaky bet on Eli on pure talent and athleticism
