great job, Amy.

She had a really close loss to a top seed last week, didn't she?

And I see that instead of playing the top seed now, she gets a lowly ranked Thai girl coz the top seed Spaniard retired in her first round match.

Looking promising !

R2: GIBSON, Aimee (GBR) Q UNR v MOMKOONTHOD, Tamachan (THA) 1130 CH=1113= (08/06/2015)

The no. 1 seed retired so a lucky break smile

Tennis is a game with a lot more snakes than ladders - make the most!
