Very good on both counts  

It's clearly at times been very difficult for Sabrina, but she keeps on at it. Well done !

PS : I hadn't been aware of it, but I notice from the ITF site a big gap in Sabrina's competition activity from June last year to June this. Anyone know if she was injured or any other reason for the year out ?

 I read (I think on here) that she'd gone to Italy to persue a coaching career. Still, it's a hell of a win - when I saw the draw I thought that that would be that - so I'm both pleased and stunned

 Thanks for the info.

Sabrina lost her singles and doubles today.

Still, 1+1 pts and gets a singles ranking and a win over a 517 ranked player

I see that you are having difficulty believing me about the 2 points for doubles, strongbow

Essentially, you get the same points as a R1 singles exit if you exit in R1 of the doubles, hence say 1 point for a R1 exit in a 25K and 0 if she'd lost in R1 in this 10K.

But if you win at least one doubles round you get the same points as a singles player losing similarly close to the finishing line.

10K, losing in the QF of the singles or doubles = 2 points ( even though it generally just requires one win to reach that stage in doubles )
