RE: Week 16 - ITF ($10K) - Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt Hard

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Estelle C won 4-6, 6-3, 7-5

And had a long match against the Q girl, only winning 7-6(6) 6-4

So, on top of the big run last week, (which was a bit unexpected - in the previous 4 10ks in the last couple of months, she'd only made the QFs twice, and the R16 twice), she may well be a bit tired.....

So, go Sam !

Great start from Katie Boulter as she goes to *3-0, but now facing break point.

QF: Katie BOULTER (GBR) 1056 def Melanie KLAFFNER (AUT) [1] 334 (CH 175 01/2014) 6-2 6-2
Great win.

Sam Murray has evened it up at a set all too.

Katie puts out the top seed 6-2 6-2, into the SF.

Sam, trying to follow, is 3-6 6-3 with last week's winner.

Edit: just confirming

With Katie moving to 13 points in running on Monday week and so at the least will be GB #23, Lucy Brown and Emily Appleton will be #24 and #25 ( or vice versa ) on 12 points, so we will have 25 players in double figure points and #25 in the low 900s in WR ( probably about WR 920 ).

As of now, Sam could still get a ranking and also go to 12 points by winning the tournament ( edit : not to be, see next )

QF: Katie BOULTER (GBR) 1056 beat Melanie KLAFFNER (AUT) [1] 334 (CH 175 01/2014) 6-2 6-2 biggrin

QF: (Q) Samantha MURRAY (GBR) UNR lost to Estelle CASCINO (FRA) 815 (CH 462 11/20130 6-3 3-6 6-3

Still good looking first week back on ITF by Sam. Should hopefully soon be ranked again and pushing fast up these rankings.

WOW; brilliant win for Katie :D
I'm getting excited about my rankings prediction for her now :)
Great effort by Sam; considering Cascino has put out the 2nd seed 2 weeks running, that was very close to opening up the draw for an all Brit final

Katie has been a bit hit and miss. It will take time for her to get the level and consistency before the injury

Both are staying on for a few more weeks and the entry lists are getting weaker and weaker, so great chance to add more points

The thing about Katie re predictions is I haven't a clue where she'll end up this year.

If she came back quickly this year and stayed fit I was pretty sure she'd be GB top 10 come the end. But given at the time of predictions that was far from clear, and as I said from the WR point of view I still wouldn't have much feel at all as to where to place her, I opted to leave her out. But all the best, you. And of course, all the best, Katie !

I generally have not much clue about any predictions, Indy, hence my excitement :)
On another forum my worst effort in a crowded field was to get 0.5 out of 10...and that was being generous with the 0.5!

Here's to Katie getting the chance to correct last week's score-line against Cascino; both Pribylovas must fall :)
