Personally I'm delighted to see Harriet win that match. I feel she's a much better long term prospect, and with quite a few points to defend over the next month getting to the final or even winning here will help her maintain or improve her current ranking going into the summer.

Well, it was a wonderful first set from Tara! Hope it gives her something to build on for the remainder of this year. And for Harriet, who made very few errors the last two sets, now she needs to go on and in it. 

SF: DART, Harriet (GBR) [1] 135 beat MOORE, Tara (GBR) [WC] 479 3-6 6-0 6-0

F: DART, Harriet (GBR) [1] 135 vs Laura-Ioana PAAR (ROU) [Q] 378 (CH:280 July 13)

Interesting that Harriet lost seemingly quite routinely to Anderson a couple of weeks ago in France 60k but beat Paar in the previous round of the same tournament, so she'll probably be pleased that she plays the veteran Romanian qualifier instead of the 2nd seed.

Just out of interest, the British wins in the 3 home ITF events to date tally up as follows ($60k and 2 x $25k events).

Lumsden - 5 wins
Burrage - 5 wins
Raducanu - 4 wins
Jones - 1 win
Allen - 1 win

Will be interesting to see who comes out top of these indoor hard events; if the LTA had anything about them the overall player with most wins (or in some points table) would be rewarded with a guaranteed wild card into Wimbledon or at least one of the big grass events pre Wimbledon.

 So, with just Harriet in the almost final wins table for GB women in the 4 British home ITF events over the first part of this season is:

Burrage - 6 wins

Lumsden - 5 wins

Dart - 4 wins, maybe 5 if she wins the final tomorrow

Raducanu - 4 wins

Moore -  3 wins

Allen - 2 wins

Jones - 1 win

Robson - 1 win 

 

So 26/7 wins over the 4 events, running at 6-7 per event. Just out of interest how does this compare with previous similar sequences of domestic events for our ladies, my instinct tells me 6/7 average per event isn't too bad in fact?

So well done to Jodie, pipping the others at the post, 6 wins isn't too bad, a last 16/QF performance on average for each of the events.

Can't believe where the Tara run has come from. I  saw her in Glasgow lose in qualifying and to be honest looked out of shape. I  am so pleased for Tara one of the nicest persons you can meet

Well done to Harriet if not part of my proposed movie script for Tara to actually lose a match here.

Seriously, very good to see from Tara in both singles and doubles this week.

3rd 25K doubles final in the last month partnering Emina Bektas and so close this time

 So very very close - lost the last four ponits. But judging from the last few matches, Tara's confidence is back - let's hope she keeps going from here.

Harriet underway with an immediate break *1-0.

Surprised both finals are on at the same time, especially on adjacent courts.

Yes, very odd decision to play both simultaneously

Not great for the spectators, it would make more of a day of it if they were separated like last week. At the least you'd think they'd have altered the streaming, like Bolton did on finals day, and have them a couple of courts apart, so less chance balls could run on to the other court mid rally.

I've not got much interest in the men's final, but would have been annoyed if hypothetically it had been Jack Drsper or someone.

 I've been to several events in the UK that do this.

It really annoys me.

I think it's disrespectful to both finals.

And certainly puts me off going, if it's quite a long way off.

Harriet was pegged back from *4-1 to 4-4*, but has just broken again, so has the chance to serve it out. *5-4.

Well that wasn't too great, *4-1, *5-4 to 5-7. A lot of work to do for those extra 20 points.
