Well, that was a lot closer than I expected. So well done to Manon.

But, phew, all the same - and good luck for tomorrow to Tara.

Tough match next - Vikhlyantseva is a former Top 20 junior and beat Friedsam last year...

Bit of a step down for Josanna, but I guess it's local, they need some game time and they need the points

paulisi · Tennis legend

Tara took the first set 6-4.

Josanna are he defending champions here, defending 80 points, but yes rarely played ITFs last year after an initial 10K rust clearer, one other 50K in June and a 100K in August.

I looked in on the Tara LS at 6-4 *5-2 40-15 ( 2 MPs ). 4 points later it was 6-4 5-3*

I'll look away for a bit.

Tara Moore GBR d. (8) Natalia Vikhlyantseva RUS 6-4 6-4 smile

Great result!

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, well done Tara

5 ( net 4 ) points for qualifying takes Tara up to 130 points. 8 further points for a MD R1 win would take her to 138 points, which in the current rankings would have her sneaking into the top 300.

Brilliant result for Tara, hopefully a win in the main draw and back in to the 200's!

Great to see Tara moving back up the rankings she is top 200 or higher material unfortunate with injuries over the years

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, top 300 will hopefully just be a staging post to getting a ranking starting with 1, which Tara rather liked when she got there before. She can do again.
