I haven't seen Amanda for a few months, is she injured or has she retired?

Good question. She hasn't played a tournament since April and doesn't seem to be on any entry lists.

Strongbow · All-time great

She's had a lot of injuriies - mainly wrist if I remember correctly. Was under 250 at one point. Don't know what she'll do now - must be heart-breaking.

Amanda has been playing team tennis for her club, Real Club de Polo de Barcelona. helping them win promotion to the top tier of the Spanish National Team Championships last weekend. I guess she has called it a day on the tour. In any event she drops out of the WTA rankings tomorrow and it's hard to see her having the desire to build her ranking from scratch again.

The decisive day of the phase also took place with some equality, with two victories on each side. Aliova Bolsova and Amanda Carreras, from the Pole, they imposed themselves on Martina Genis and Adriana Pujols, and those of Tarragona corresponded to them by winning Jana Genis and Guadalupe Pérez Martina Vázquez and Inés Gabarro. The cup would therefore be for the winners of the final doubles match, who played Aliona Bolsova and Amanda Carreras against Martina Genis and Guadalupe Pérez. The first ones won, from the Pole, with a resounding 6/1 6/1 that does not do justice to the reality of the meeting, which was balanced, of quality, very colorful and very sporty.
