Good start
Laura had 5 top 200 wins in 2017, the first of which came in week 4, the last in Week 25. So this is her first for half a year.

 ...To get 9 pts, having got 5 from her win today. This really should be at least a 60k tournament with the field it has, which is why the LTA have upped their pre-Wimbledon ITF tournaments.

Well done, Laura.

No idea if they've really started yet but my hope/punt is that Bok will make a big difference this year - someone has to - it's all possible for her - and he certainly has the history to do so.

Nice to get some good wins to kick off the year.

Hopefully a good omen (I'm reaching here - every little helps), Laura is the lucky seventh Brit lady to begin her year in singles. Last year that honour, also went to Laura... Deigman, who went on to have an excellent year and... erm...

Isn't she the fifth?

Well... at least we both got it wrong.

She's sixth!

I have though have no excuse; I only had to count the names.

In fact I didn't even have to count the names, as I have another counter for just this purpose: FgbWp8S.png

And... I still got it wrong. Dumber than a bunch of rocks!

Under way, 0-1*
I move that tennis competitions be made illegal at locations in the global time-zones that insist on being offest by a half-hour, like Adelaide.

Very even in almost every respect - Laura's 1st % is down a bit compared to Andreescu, the only real difference.
Laura recovers the break, and holds to take her first lead, 4-3*

Serve dominant; no more breaks, or even break-points. TB, 6-6

Comfort break.
