Jaffa · Challenger level

That will be very tough indeed. Good luck to both!

Very good to see the two Katies getting a run of results.

They have been the slowest to get going this season, at least in wins and points gathering, of our established leading 9 ranked women.

But now in running both are into the top 9 GB women in the race, with Maia and Eden having now been passed by Katie S. The top 9 in the race will now be the established order, err in slightly different order, eg. Gabi at #2.

Of course be great to get at least a #10 really pushing on.

True, but fair to say that Katie B has been performing regularly at a much higher level of events this year - WTA Auckland, Aus Open, 60K and WTA Miami included in her start to the season.

Katie B has been winning matches, but not going deep often.

indiana · Tennis legend

Absolutely re Katie B. She has indeed had some very good wins. It was when thinking of these and her general standard of opposition that when I said slowest I added "at least in wins and points gathering" meaning number of.

Great that they have got to another SF. Unfortunately, their half of the draw has got out of sync with the other half and so, should they win the SF, they will have to play the final in the afternoon against the #3 seeds who played their SF today.

the addict · Tennis legend

Yes, it's a pity they have got out of sync and the #3 seeds were able to play QF and SF today, especially as one of the players in the SF was involved in the singles today.
On the bright side, watch out for the huge leap in rankings as all their points go on over the next couple of weeks.
I just hope they have streamimg from both the courts in use tomorrow

Its not really a massive physical exertion to play 2 doubles matches in one day, doubt it will have little bearing on the result.
