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.

 But at the bottom of your link, it has the bit that I put in grey?

Yes, that's the point that the addict made Helen. There's an asterisk there and in the table the asterisk is against the 1pt that players used to get for a R32 loss in W25 draws. Meaning that someone like Chloe Compson cannot get a ranking in the future without actually winning matches.

 According to the WTA Chloe has 3 points.  Her point from sept 2018 will drop off the 1st week in October, she still maintains the 2 from the 2 weeks in April, (25K WCs, no matches won, in fact hardly won a game) and the 1st round MD entry last week will not be added in, so that means she'll be unranked.

Sam and Anna make the semis by winning the MTB

and Esther and Sonay are also through in the same way

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.

And they wrap it up 6-2 6-1.
The other SF is much tighter, first set going to the German pair 7-5

Both current matches were unavailable for a while - I'm guessing they stopped play for a shower,. The doubles has resumed indoors though.
