Such a shame she got injured. She might have been ~350-500 by now otherwise.

Lucy goes down to Luttikhuis, ranked couple of hundred places below her
Though at WR800-1100 that's not such a very big jump.
Still

MD doubles is up on the ITF site.

No sign of Fran or Emily Appleton in the doubles - Fran is a good doubles player, so I wonder if she is a late withdrawal from singles as well

Alexandra is putting up a fight. She lost the first 3-6 but is *4-1 up in the 2nd.

72 minutes that first game of Savannah's has lasted according to the scoreboard, it's still only *15-30.
Those must be some incredible rallies!

Alexandra, meanwhile, has found some encouragement at 3-6 *4-1

I walked away from the computer when she was 2-4 down (I think - could have been 2-5)

So glad to see her making a fight of it.
