29pts for Joss and Anna, but need to make the final to have any impact on rankings as 29pts is their lowers scorer at the moment.

SF:  (WC) Kristie Ahn & Kaitlyn Christian (USA/USA) UNR vs (3) Jos Rae & Anna Smith CR 230 (114+116)

On the face of it, an excellent chance of a place in the final for Jos & Anna, but the Yank wild cards have taken out two pairs with a CR in the 400s (Hibino & Hozumi [CR 423] in three in R1 & Cako & Pluskota [CR 434] in their QF, also in three).  Kristie Ahn currently has no doubles ranking, hence the "UNR", but her CH was 448 in 2010, while Kaitlyn Christian is currently ranked 1098, but has a CH of 524, also in 2010.  Here's hoping Jos & Anna will have just a bit too much for them.

Yes, looks on the face of it and in actuality an excellent opportunity for a place in the final for Joss and Anna.

Ahn has just graduated from Stanford finishing at 4 in singles and 13 in dubs (playing with carol Zhao) in the college rankings. Christian has just graduated from Southern California and finished unranked in singles (only top 125 players are ranked) and 31 in dubs (playing with Sabrina Santamaria).  They probably know their way around a doubles court.

Ahn was a very good junior as well, but I'm still very hopeful.

The match before is close to finishing, so should be on court in 20 mins or so.

SF:  (3) Jos Rae & Anna Smith CR 230 (114+116) defeated (WC) Kristie Ahn & Kaitlyn Christian (USA/USA) UNR by 3 & 2 smile

******

Final:  (3) Jos Rae & Anna Smith CR 230 (114+116) vs (2) Shuko Aoyama & Keri Wong (JPN/USA) CR 242 (58+184)

The Japanese girl has a CH of 58 (last November) & the Yank 154 (April this year).  In theory, Jos & Anna have the edge...

It's quite competitive for the GB no.1 slot.

This ITF lark is too easy for the girls now. If they have the cash tour events are the way to go.
