Superb result, with Burrage & Christie trouncing the top seeds, to make it seven in a row, and move into a second successive final together
SF: Burrage/Christie (GBR/GBR) defeated Bonic/Stojanovic (SRBV/AUS) [1] 6-4 6-1

In the GB singles crowd between WR 500 and WR 550, Jodie moves ahead of Freya for Monday week's rankings and should also move ahead of EWS on tiebreak. The title would take her past Maia and Eden too to the top of the bunch ( though 59 points would still almost certainly be a bit short of the top 500, over to Eden next week on that one ).
Looks as if Gabi is doing the India December thing along with Sam Murray. They are entered into the India 15K in week 49 with 25Ks to follow in weeks 50 and 51.
I think Katy is going out to India as well
Yes, Katy D and Katie S both on the early week 50 Pune 25K list along with Gabi and Sam.
Jodie's decision not to go to the university of Florida from a tennis perspective already seems to be paying dividends.
A step up in quality in the semi-finals yes but exactly what is needed to progress and a level that is difficult to find week in week out in the US college system.
Exciting stuff and fingers crossed for a good performance in the semis.
Yes, Jodie's choice was always reasonably justifiable. She might find herself rather stuck in the 250-350 slot, as per a lot of our other girls, at age 20-22, in which case college may have been a plus. But Jodie has the potential for top 100 (just my view but I believed that since she was 16). Whereas - again just my view and maybe completely wrong - Emily Appleton doesn't and her decision was way more questionable.
(That said, I also thought at age 16 that Katie B and Freya had potential for top 100. And still do. But they wouldn't have done themselves any harm, given where there are now, if they'd gone to college either. And I know injuries have been a problem for both but....)

Jodie is being reminded today of the level that she still needs to reach to meet her aspirations; Ozgen dominating leaves the Brit a set and a break down, 2-6 0-1*
