GSM Emily 6-2 2-6 6-3

Well done! Really had to scrap for that (though she made life difficult for herself). If she is playing one handed even more impressive.

Well done EWS! 13-3 on the year, and just a fraction behind JoKo at the top of GBR players in win %.
Next faces the pesky Pole qualifier that has already defeated Suzy & Laura D this week. Obviously not to be underestimated.

Emily back out for her dubs with Ola, *0-1

PaulM · Tennis legend

Led 4-2* but lost a deuce point for a *5-2 lead, and went *4-5 down

Save two set points for 5-5*

Tananta is obviously hugely better than her current unranked status, but she's been playing fairly off and on the past couple of years.

Laura & Suzy are also playing their dubs, and going great guns, 6-3 *2-1

Em & Ola in to a TB

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Both Suzy and Laura get some measure of redress over their singles conqueror, Czarnik

Aw

To be honest I'd kind of expected Em would be mopping up doubles titles in Sharm but not doing much in singles, and it's been the opposite! Not had a good doubles week at all whilst she's been here.

Strongbow · All-time great

EWS needs singles points so she can qualify for the events that will give her the hefty doubles points she needs
