After a battling first set where Fran, I think, was down, she went on to sneak it 6-4

Now 0-3* down in the second though, so time for another true grit moment.

A really good week for Francesca. A win and a narrow loss to WR700 players and she's only just turned 16. A singles ranking and a CB should be some consolation. smile

Yes, pity about the SF ending but for Gabi a very encouraging return week. And, with the final still to come, she will probably now have already taken out her CH 375 when the Monday week rankings come out ( she actually only had 4 points to defend in her time away ).

Always a shame to have a retirement.

But this week has been a wonderful return for Gabi, having been so horribly ill, having not played competitively since Wimbledon, still a junior, and only having made a 10k final once before (which she won).

Well done, Gabi - here's to good health and good tennis, in that order.
