For the doubles I'd rather Emily+ had won, but good luck to Freya+ in keeping the run going now. Their potential opponents are playing now.

QF: Webley-Smith/Strakhova (GBR/UKR) [3] 602 lost to Christie/Khabibulina (GBR/UZB) 812 3-6 4-6

SF: Christie/Khabibulina (GBR/UZB) 812 vs Cengiz/ van Der Hoek (TUR/NED) 714

Monica is another strong player from SoCal. Anyone ranked no 1 in San Diego at 18 is going to be half decent. On the cusp of top 50 as a junior at Notre Dame which is a top school both academic and sporting. Graduated this spring, peaked at 54 in college Tennis as a junior, senior probably involved academic grafted hence a slight drop off. I would imagine she has precisely the game perfectly designed to beat Freya, ie mobile defensive keeps the ball in play putting pressure on Freya to win the point, I have seen her frustrated in this way before by Risa Osaki a master moonballer

The sports programme has enormous wealth Notre Dame football has its own contract with ABC to show their games, not a conference deal but its own. It would be a bit like Man U doing its own deal with Sky before the premiership started up and keeping it!

 Emily beat Monica last week in Bhopal in the L16 in 3 sets. Thus far between last week and this Monica has gained 11 points, which should see her move quite a bit further up the rankings now.

That probably reflects Emiys experience, willingness and capacity to out grind Monica. Freya plays very differently and I think would find Monicas game very irritating just a question of working out a way to beat that type of player and grinding it out.

Pity about the singles results. Re Freya vs Monica I suspect there was a fair amount of grinding out by both parties in a 3 hour match even if Freya didn't get over the line. She certainly appears to have kept with it and came back from a break down in the final set and 4-6* ( 2 MPs ) down in the final set TB but lost on the 3rd MP against her.

In contrast Emily's three set win vs Monica was actually very straightforward in scoreline terms after the first set. It was 3-6 6-0 6-1 and all over in an hour and 20 minutes.
