The British doubles semi final has started. Three unranked players soon to be ranked and we will have a pair in the final.

It's all good.

 Can you shed more light on the 'soon to be ranked' please? Do they get ranking after one tournament  ? I thought it had to be three?  Thanks 

 It's three individual counters OR ten points in total.  

(or, at least, that's what it used to be).

You are right, it is three tournaments, BUT you can get a ranking from just one good result

From the WTA rulebook

Players must earn (i) ranking points in at least three (3) valid Tournaments, or (ii) a minimum of ten (10) singles ranking points or ten (10) doubles ranking points in one (1) or more valid Tournaments, in order to appear on the WTA Rankings.

Anna Smith knocking off the rust pretty decently so far.
So good to see her able to return.

Gutsy and good performance from Emma... but she didn't outperform Sam in the end, even if she reached a round further (Sam's loss yesterday to Anna-Lena being in a very close 3-setter that went right to the wire).

SF: RADUCANU, Emma (GBR) [WC] 550 lost to Anna-Lena FRIEDSAM (GER) [1] 208 (CH:45 2016) 4-6 2-6

Well, it seems incredible, but today must be a very, very sweet day for Anna. This is a long way down from where she was playing before, but never mind, this is a wonderfully heartwarming and elating return for her smilesmile


Final: Samantha MURRAY (GBR) / Anna SMITH (GBR) UNR (254+UNR/CH46) def Sarah-Rebecca SEKULIC (GER) / Julia WACHACZYK (GER) CR901 (590+311) 6-4 6-3

That title for Anna on return makes me very happy. I really thought she was probably done after all this time.
Still potentially plenty left for both of our champions given the way the range of player ages has extended over the last few decades.
Well done.

Superb to see Anna back and with a title no less. And to have her partner for the week, Sam, and Mandy generally doing so well again in singles.

Last year was much about the crop of emerging young GB players, this year turning into more about their elders' returns as many of the former err considerately take a step back or six for now. 

I'm already thinking next year's GB predictions will be rather challenging!

For this week though best of all to see Anna's great return and yes if she can stay fit and well she could still have many good years to come again.

OK, Emma R hasn't totally read the script. Well done her too

Anna doesn't play singles - last time she played she won a 10k years ago at Heraklion when Joss was injured.

However, it will stir up the doubles rankings - especially when she uses her PR.

Brilliant to see her back biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
