Week 15 - ITF (W15) - Cancun, Mexico - Hard
Permalink  

I see Emily's old Mexico foe Lou Brouleau has just made the Calvi 25k+H semi final and has a decent shot of making the final. Plus Camila Osario Serrano who lost 2 successive Cancun 15k finals, one to Brouleau and the other to Hourigan (who Emily beat on the way to her own Cancun final) has just made the WTA Bogota quarter final. While any win at 25k would obviously be welcome, hopefully Emily can find confidence that some of these players that she has been mixing with have gone on to better things, even if using the triangular theory, and that can give her a lift when she does give the 25k's another crack - would love her to get something going at the higher level going into the grass season.

Emily and Maria Jose are into the doubles SF with a 6-4 7-5 win in the QF. They are top seeds and play 3rd seeds in the SF, a Spanish/ Mexican pair.

Hopefully she can get over the line from here.

Top seed and doubles partner Portillo Ramirez lost in a final set tie break so it's an unseeded Japanese opponent awaiting in the final, although seeding at this level is less clear cut.

Well done Emily, yes, just realised after I posted the above that the Japanese girl is just a young'un and a promising junior and before today she raced through her first 3 matches, so it will be a tough test.

Kawaguchi very good, but Appleton learning.
Raducanu played Kawaguchi in a hard court G1 in January, and managed a 4 & 4 win

Kawaguchi beat Emily's doubles partner today, Maria Jose PR, the top seed, in a long 3 set match, similar to Emily's, 2hrs 40 mins vs Emily's 3 hrs 8 mins. A lot will depend tomorrow on their respective powers of recovery.

And both players are also involved in doubles SFs to come later today.

Emily *3-4.

Emily got to 30 on the Japanese girl's first service game (had 15-30), but that's the closest anyone has come to a break thus far as it's all been holds to 15 or love after that.

Emily breaks to love and has the chance to serve it out *6-5. Kawaguchi did get to 40 in the last game, but still no BPs faced yet.
