Spectator · All-time great

Good fight from Ms Webley Smith! (And, picking up on Phil's terrible puns, hope she had a good birthday)

PaulM · Tennis legend

Great effort. I think she would have been better off points/wins wise at the Vancouver 10k but I understand why she is sticking to the higher level events

paulisi · Tennis legend

No joy for Sam in the doubles - lost in straight sets.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

But Em gets a win in the doubles:

R1:

Ksenia LYKINA (RUS) / Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 6-1 6-3 Maria PATRASCU (CAN) / Charlotte ROBILLARD-MILLETTE (CAN)

They now get the number 2 seeds, Hsu and Mueller.

NB I note that after they crashed out in the first round, 3 and 0, as number one seeds (!), Em and Steph Foretz are not playing together this week.......
