Difficult to see her progressing further but stranger things have happened. Good to see that Em now has no 1 pointers on her ranking, this has been a good spell for her with consistent round 1 wins.

Indeed, and that will be one of her two 2 pointers getting the boot ;)

I see that 2/3 ( 76 ) of her now 114 ranking points have been added in since July, 20 points for winning a qualifying round at Wimbledon setting her on her way.

She will sometimes get some very decent draws on her travels, but I don't see her as seeking these out. As said, she just likes playing tennis and travelling.

Em won 6-2 6-2!

I did not see that coming!

That's lovely. Well done!

If you look at the points still due to come off this year, if none of the girls were to win another match this year, it's very close for nos 4, 5 and 6 with no 7 hovering not too far behind, but the end of year GB rankings would be :

4 Emily
5 Tara
6 Katy
7 Katie

...and Emily is still going this week and looks in rather good nick.

Go, Emily !

A difficult match in the doubles against the top seeds, lots of breaks and after being behind the girls found themselves serving for the set at *5-4, but missed a set point on sudden death deuce, and then a break point at 5-5*, eventually dropping the set 7-5.

They have managed to stop the run of games and are 1-3* down in the second, and as I type have converted their first break point in a while to get back on serve, *2-3
