They've withdrawn from doubles.

Dzalemidze has just retired from her doubles match with very similar issue. Wonder if there's a bug or something they've eaten.

How unfortunate.

Em+ are a set down. With serve so far in set 2.

4-6 *1-2

Emily hasn't won a singles or doubles match all year.

Led 4-2* as well. Frustrating one, they were comfortably the better pair in the early part of the match, Neel in particular was really struggling. I thought they looked on for breaking their duck but it just slipped away.

 

Interestingly Em is showing on the list for the Italian 25k next week. Potentially re-teaming with Sofia? Either that or I guess her and Vivian will go for the 80k in France.

Oh dear, thought Em and Vivian were going to make that much closer - missed all of the second set.
I think Em really needs a more consistent partner. Vivian was brilliant at times, and then missed a few. I'm sure Sofia was a better choice. Maybe next season.

Naomi underway

*0-1

No idea what her plans are now she's back from injury, but if she was thinking of increasing focus on doubles (and she may well feel she can get back into the top 200 singles) would be nice to see her play with Emily a bit.
