Stinker of a draw, as Joss & Anna get the much decorated 'silent H's'.

R1: Jocelyn RAE/Anna SMITH (GBR/GBR) 174 vs. Lucie HRADECKA/Andrea HLAVACKOVA (CZE/CZE) [2] 47

Not good, but at least the girls have moved up one place to CHs of WR 86 in the latest rankings.

R1 : Joss Rae / Anna Smith CR 172 (86+86) vs (2) Lucie Hradecka / Andrea Hlavackova (CZE/CZE) CR 46 (28+18)

By the by, Anna & Joss are #49 in the doubles race after their 60 points from Acapulco; one place behind Em (and Julie)

Much tougher field this week, but still at least it's back on hard, nothing to lose.

From 40-0 up on serve the girls are broken ( double faulting at killer deuce ) to go a break down in the second set.

Joss / Anna : 2-6 2-3*

9 Df's won't wash at this level, especially against a top pair.

And its unlike them.

Schooled 62 63 but they will have learnt a lot playing an established top pair.

Lots to go away and work on.

A decent trip i guess. Just the loss in the first week was really a wasted opportunity for big points.

Not quite playing to their FedCup level form which is a shame, but as Paul says experience gained and a chance to work on a few things.

That was always going to be a hard task and hopefully the experience will hold them in better stead down the line; plus, on the upside, somewhat better money here for their R1 loss it being a 500k

Actually,

R1: Jocelyn RAE/Anna SMITH (GBR/GBR) 172 lost to Lucie HRADECKA/Andrea HLAVACKOVA (CZE/CZE) [2] 46 2-6 3-6

Wish I could change the scoreline so easily !
