Nice comeback from Katie, from 2-5 love-forty, to take the first set 7-6(3)...

Katy won in 3. Getting close to that CH and a decent chance to progress further.

Katy: "When your strength is your movement but the courts a beach so you can't stay upright. All you gotta do is fight and we both fought." " I like these courts out here though but this week is something else! Defo don't like these ones but ahh well, same for everyone!"

Congrats to Katy! Next round opponent still to be decided. As Steven (and Katy) have noted she came back from 3 games down and 3 set points down in the first set, so a massive battling win on, umm, a rather beach like supposedly grass surface.

R1: (7) Katy DUNNE (GBR) 298 beat Tori KINARD (USA) 461 (CH341 13/10/2014) 7-6(3) 4-6 6-4

Katie, a convincing 6-4, 6-1 winner, through into the QFs, a result which sees her leapfrog Mandy as GB4, reestablished firmly in the top 300, at around WR280.

Good win. Closing in on that CH.
Still needs a couple wins to make sure and nothing to defend until Wimbledon.

L16: (7) Katy Dunne WR 298 beat (WC) Mihoki Miyahara (JPN) UNR by 4&1

QF: (7) Katy Dunne WR 298 v Risa Ushijima (JPN) WR 708 (CH 697 in Feb)

Ushijima has just edged out the 4th seed, winning the 1st and 3rd set tiebreaks but getting bagelled in between! Katy played her in juniors in 2012, also in Japan (Nagoya) and won 3 & 3.

Nice win and not facing Okuna next feels like a bonus; here's hoping Katy can justify the rankings in the QFs smile

Good to see from Katy and the 'battle' for GB #4 taking place within the top 300.

The battle for GB no.4 may have the desired ranking effect with all the players pushing each other on. Mandy/Katy/Tara/Laura/Freya all in with a shot and don't write out Gabi who has got nothing to defend for sometime and could catch them up
