Mandy also playing doubles with Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers this week. Play Hontama/Murta (JPN/POR) first.

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

First time on a hard court on the tour since week 5, 2017. Useful prep on a hard court before the Island Games next month.

Bucsa and her opponent of today are not yet on court. This win takes Mandy into the 490s now when the points eventually go on.

R32: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [IR] 605/54 beat Linnea MALMQVIST (SWE) [IR] 711/135 (CH:666 Dec 18) 6-1 6-0

Bucsa's opponent retired after only 28 mins. This will test Mandy's hard court credentials.

R16: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [IR] 605/54 vs Cristina BUCSA (ESP) [2] 234=CH

6 points so far - so a leve upl - long way from a CH..

indiana · Tennis legend

Long way to go but now pretty much on the move.

Last week and this week so far move her from GB #21 to provisional GB #17 with 51 points in total so far taking her to about the WR 500 mark. Move aside, a Mandy coming through.

Would be super if she could accumulate a full year of decent fitness and points to get back to at least where she was a couple of years ago, closing in on Slam qualifying DA ( and it was the French - was such a shame ). Her CH is 236 from April 2017.

Mandy did meet her match today as I thought she might. Still she is beginning to come up against the players she needs to be able to beat again if she wants to continue moving upwards.

R16: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [IR] 605/54 lost to Cristina BUCSA (ESP) [2] 234=CH 2-6 4-6

It was a big ask especially not on her favourite surface. Still 6 points in the bag So well worth the visit.

Edit to stupid typo - and more
