Not exactly plain sailing now, and it is effectively on serve; nonetheless Katie is a game away, 6-3 6-5*

Breaks to win, 6-3 7-5

On the other court, Grey-Nicholls are revving up to do their thing.

Well done Katie, keep those points coming !

Beth and Olivia have a harder task today - two players with plenty of doubles experience, but I don't think they have played together before.

A great win for Beth and Olivia here today, and 18 pts locked in now too. smilesmile  Tough again next round, but looks like they are playing well together this week.

QF: Sarah Beth GREY/ Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR/GBR) 573 (257+316) beat Giuliana OLMOS/ Marcela ZACARIAS (MEX/MEX) [2]401 (87+314) 6-4 6-1

SF: Sarah Beth GREY/ Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR/GBR) 573 (257+316) vs Catalina PELLA/ Valeriya STRAKHOVA (ARG/UKR [3] 461 (225+236)

Onwards and upwards !

Another scratch pairing in the SF ! I see that Strakhova has partnered both Conny and EWS during the last year. And Pella played Fed cup.

One more win should see Olivia get inside the top 300 for doubles in two weeks time. Beth moving up more slowly, as her lowest counter currently is 7, but she will move into a CH in two weeks, just inside the top 250.

So top seed Bouzkova up next for Katie. Difficult, obviously, but not totally out of the question. Bouzkova has had a lot of wins this year and does look a talented prospect, but as a Patty Schneider fan on TF pointed out the other week, she hasn't really beaten anyone of note - Katie B in the USA a few weeks ago is probably her best win this year, or Zvonareva via retirement. Schneider beat her 2 and 1 in Prague last week. She has started to play more on the WTA stage, or at least in the quals, and while Swan is a long way off that, I'd think to think Katie would be considered one of her better wins if she does prevail. She beat her Spanish opponent via 2 tie breaks earlier today.

Good stuff again.

Now more than covering her 5 points due off next week Katie should push her current WR/CH 288 up a few places.

Also after that she only has 6 points ( 4 and 2 pointers ) due off before September ( another few half decent counters and they won't even be counters to come off ). So a nice window to really push up the rankings in the coming months including clearly all the grass court season and a fair bit beyond.

Beth posted a picture on instagram of Olivia eating dinner, and captioned it "Best part of Monzon apart from the plane out of here"

Very good to hear with the troubles she clearly has had and her power game, and with the fact that she is meant to end the season WR 188

Agreed, she has obviously struggled a bit with her fitness over the last 18 months or so, hopefully she is beginning to get a feel for how to look after her body on what is a fairly gruelling and basic existence on the 25k tour.
