Sam & Anna just beat the top seeds Freya & Maria 6-2 5-7 10-6 I had an idea that might be an interesting match.

 Me too, in fact I put my 10p on Sam and Anna !

Chuffed for Emma, she's certainly been economical with her events these past 12 months - 7 ITF events played (outside of Wimbledon qualifying) and she has reached 2 W25 SFs, 2 W25 QFs (one that may be improved further), won a W15 and reached a W15 final, the only minor 'blip' (or rather the lowest return) being a W25 2nd round loss in Glasgow against the much more experienced Savinykh, where Emma even managed to take the first set 6-1. She does have 28 points coming off soon, so unless she goes further here, will fall down the rankings a bit if she doesn't play much more in 2019 (not that that's too important at this stage), but extremely encouraging that she's competing with, and in most cases, beating, a lot of decent 130-300 type players.

It's nice to have a bit of youth as well as the experience in the quarter final

 I'm a little confused in how Emma's points work now as I've just read.

' Womens $25,000 events from 26 August will no longer be awarding WTA points in R32 Main Draw singles.  '

So if she's got 28 points coming off and these won't be counted, how does that work?

I think you've read the old not the new Helen. This is how it reads now.  

In 2019, prior to 5 August, WTA Rankings are based on a players performance at Grand Slams, WTA Tournaments and ITF tournaments ($25,000 - $100,000). From 5 August, WTA rankings will also be based off performance at $15,000 ITF tournaments. Please see table below.
