I guess you have not seen Sabrina play - her ranking based on what I saw a couple of years ago is about right.

It's amazing to think Sabrina beat Naomi Broady a few years ago, I commented at the time she must have been playing with an arm behind her back or something.

Well, Gabi Taylor was within a whisker of beating Naomi Broady only a couple of months ago at Surbiton......it's a funny game.....

Yeah but Gabi Taylor is a promising tennis player Sabrina is a backpacker big difference.

yes. I wasn't really comparing Gabi to Sabrina, you're quite right.

But it was Gabi's first tournament for about six months - it does show how topsy-turvy the standard can be some time.

Yep! That's the nature of women tennis at times.
