Today, in the 400th completed match involving a Brit lady in 2017, Harriet was not 5-2 down in set 2, she was 5-2 up. But it was Gabi who staged the epic comeback.
That means Harriet is 0-3 against Brit's on the Australian tour.
R16: Harriet DART (GBR) 331 lost to Gabriella TAYLOR (GBR) 363 7-6(1) 6-7(5) 2-6
QF: Gabriella TAYLOR (GBR) 363 v. Olivia TJANDRAMULIA (AUS) 488 (CH 361, Oct. 2016)
> H2H 1-0
> 2017 Mildura, Australia - ITF $25K - Grass - OT(Q) - R32 - Taylor by 3-6 6-3 6-1
That's a massive doubles win for Gaby and her partner Abbie Myers. There is more than a 750 points differential - their doubles rankings are 637 and 378 respectively, whilst their opponents, the #2 seeds are 196 and 48!
L16: Abbie Myers (AUS) and Gabriella Taylor (GBR) (378 & 637) beat (2) Julia Glushko (ISR) and Barbora Krejcikova (CZE) (196 and 48) 7-5 1-6 10-8
QF: Abbie Myers (AUS) and Gabriella Taylor (GBR) (378 & 637) vs (WC) Lorbergs, Genevieve (AUS) and Mendez, Seone (AUS) (515 and 1026)
Gabi continued her good day, but Harriet & Katy's weeks got no better (albeit it was unlikely to, against the strong top seeds)
R16: Dart/Dunne (GBR/GBR) 753 lost to Moore/Wonteanchai (AUS/THA) [1] 206 2-6 2-6

Never read much into doubles results at this level. Money is little incentive and players sometimes have other agendas.
Gabi has to get beyond the semis to add points this fortnight (she's defending 24 qualifying + SF points from a 25K+H in Irapuato last year) but she's certainly giving it a good go - Tjandramulia won the 1st set but Gabi is now an early break up in the 3rd 2-6 6-4 2-0*
