Tara won 6-3 7-5. Plays Ganna POZNIKHIRENKO next.

real pleasing to see tara play much much better this year so far she building good performances and some good results all on the bounce
if she keeps it up then the tangible rewards gonna come to match the level she operating at
quietly optimistic about tara this year if she can stay injury and ill free she might end up at her best ye rank since 2016

Q1: MOORE, Tara (GBR) 494/162 def LUKAS, Tena (CRO) 1 272/440 6-3 7-5

Q2: MOORE, Tara (GBR) 494/162 v POZNIKHIRENKO, Ganna (UKR) 400/UNR CH=255/UNR 28/5/18

Lovely to see Tara qualify again. Would love to see her with a MD win too... She has been doing all the hard yards in recent weeks to qualify and gaining just the solitary point on each occasion, even when beating good opponents. Would be good to see her getting a little more reward...

In the doubles, two interesting pairs here. First Tara is playing with Conny, even though Conny is not in the singles, and they are 2nd seeds. Then Sam Murray is playing with Emma Laine (FIN) again here, reprising their partnership here from last week. Both Tara and Sam/Emma failed to win their first round matches last week, so would be good to see them make better progress this one.

I notice the world number two is in the doubles draw.

Yes indeed. I hadn't initially seen that... I guess also because she is playing with an unranked 17 year old junior, so they are an unranked and unseeded WC pair!! They play an Alt pair first, with winners to play potentially the top seeds in the QF. Doubt they are very happy with that draw! 

In Tranava, Sam and Emma have won their first round doubles this week, a good 6-7(3) 6-1 10-5 win

Tara and Conny are due on court soon.

good day tara well done
