Katie's next opponent won't be known for a few hours, but could well be the only other seed left - Giulia GATTO-MONTICONE (ITA) 3 WR289 - who Katie B beat in the SF at Obidos recently

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

Bouzkova was apparently feeling discomfort in her leg during the last game of yesterday's singles match. She later started the doubles match but retired after 15 minutes at 0-5

Ah well, can't be helped; Katie can save her energies for the SF :)

So that's one quarter finalist through.

I make it among the ladies we have a further 7 in various QFs. They are likely to have to work harder !

Japan 60 K ( Naomi, Katie B and Katy D ), China 60K ( Harriet ), Korea 25K ( Maia ), Sweden 15K ( Fran ) and Trinidad & Tobago 15K ( Emily App ). Naomi plays Katie B.

That looks not bad to me.

Little blip for Beth and Olivia - lost the first set
3-6 6-1 and into the MTB

Michael D · All-time great

And very good to see them overcoming that blip convincingly in the end smile

SF: Sarah Beth GREY/ Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR/GBR) 573 (257+316) beat Catalina PELLA/ Valeriya STRAKHOVA (ARG/UKR [3] 461 (225+236) 3-6 6-1 10-5

F: Sarah Beth GREY/ Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR/GBR) 573 (257+316) vs Cristina BUCSA/ Yana SIZIKOVA (ESP/RUS) [1] 344 (243+111)

the addict · Tennis legend

No problem 10-5 and into another final

Michael D · All-time great

Olivia now guaranteed a ranking within the top 300 on 21/5 smile

She will then be the 13th GB player within the top 300 doubles. Emily A will be next in line, but playing only 15ks is a slower process.

They are a lovely little story; echoes of Jossanna.
