Wowzers!

Indeed. Well done, Ms Murray. That takes care of the whole UNR thing nicely, does it not?

Not quite yet. Sam now has 9 points from 2 counters. Players need 3 counters or 10 points for a ranking. So just needs to win the final

Great win, and while she clearly is still very much on the early road, I think more support for my reservations about "it takes you as long to get back as you were away" in that comebacks are such an individual thing with relation to the injury and much about the player themselves.

Exceptionally impressed by Sam's comeback from a similar injury to Laura's, she's arguably already not far off her pre injury form.

First set won in the doubles final.

If Sam has another good week, I'd like to see her entering with her SE into bigger tournaments.

6-3 6-2.

Not a suprise, Sam is one of our best doubles players.

I have always rated Sam if fit she could be back into top 200 Shoot me down in flames but Laura in my opinion should have tried some 10k tournaments with wins to boost her confidence

Michael D · All-time great

Very well done, Sam, first win for the week! smile
