In the doubles, Tiffany is playing with Helena, and they are second seeds, with a BYE into the quarters.

Amelia is playing with Maltby (USA)

T+H could probably have done with a bit more practice together, as they have lost their QF 1-6 2-6

Lou Adler is a pretty standard 'journeyman' sort of tennis player. Plays a lot of events. Age 22. Makes QFs regularly. Occasionally better. Has quite an aggressive game. Has done a BA hons as well. But never really threatens to break through. Her ranking of 732 is very fair. Not easy for Tiffany, coming back from injury, Lou most definitely the favourite, but certainly playable.

Second set gone 2-6

But Tiff has roared back to win the third smile . One more win is likely to bring Tiffany into the top 1000.

Well done Tiffany! biggrin I need to stop paying attention to matches more often today, as the British players seem to be doing much better when my back is turned.

Well done, Tiff ! Suspected you had it in you, tennis wise, for an upset against Lou but great to see after only being back on tour such a short time.

I see Tiffany has a gofundme page. She says she is aiming to play a minimum of 20 tournaments this year. I make this the 8th so far.

Well, about half an hour ago it looked liked the other Tiff (a French Tiphanie) was going to be Tiff's next opponent. She was 5-2 up or so in the third. And it's now 5-5. I guess Tiff will be happy the longer it gets dragged on.

And eventually Tiffany will play Tiphanie, the latter Tiff having put out 5th seeded Fiona Codina (who I know CD doesn't rate much)... And yes, I also thought this match was going to be over much quicker than it eventually was - Tiphanie won 7-6(1) in the third after being 5-1 up.

QF: WILLIAM, Tiffany (GBR) 1102 vs FIQUET, Tiphanie (FRA) UNR 18yrs (JCH:1235 Mar 15)

It will be Tiffany v Tiphanie, as TF wins the final set tie-break 7-1

Edit: - 30s too late posting !
