At Loughbourough, through to the semis are:

Eliz ('00)
Charlotte ('02)
Amelia ('02)
Indy ('02)

Loughborough FINAL:

Amelia RAKECKI def. Eliz MALONEY 3-6 6-1 6-4

That must be the strongest entry list for a Premier for a few years - can't remember seeing so many ranked players on a list. The chance of an entry into a W25 is becoming a big attraction !!!!

SFs:

Eliz v Michelle Dzjachangirova
Charlotte Howard v Andre Lukosiute

Anna withdrew before the withdrawal deadline. Lissey, Sam and Tiff appear to be late withdrawals along with Eliz Maloney opening up 4 LL spots.

Eight qualifiers and five lucky losers ! Plus a walkover, a retirement and one unlucky loser.

Friday and Saturday's matches could be interesting - we could have Freya and Maia in one semi-final. If it was a London venue, I'd definitely be there.

My two nearest BT events at Frinton and Felixstowe are both Tier 2 this year - and are during Wimbledon fortnight, so won't be so tempting.

Freya vs Victoria Allen could be an interesting match there. It seems potentially the pick of those L16 match ups, though is going to be a good chance for the right hand side names to test themselves.
