QR1: GREY, Sarah Beth (GBR) (q14) 647 lost to YASAR, Melis (SWE) 1061 6-7(4) 3-6

Well, that's not what the doctor ordered :(

Although, after some very spotty matches in the ProLeague, it probably wasn't as surprising as predicted (my 10p came good but I'd rather it hadn't)

Ouch, that's not a good result

Actually, they're married

flamingowings · All-time great

Anyone fancy a GB Vs GB R1?
think Tara and Emina will play doubles despite retiring in their q singles? Tara did seem to be retiring a lot at one point in time from singles matches.

I think that as they both retired it's likely to be something they ate. So I'd expect them to be in the doubles and will be looking out for the draw later today.

When did they actually get married. Tara had a previous girlfriend who she was engaged to but presumably they didn't get married.

Yep. Eden v Jodie? No problem smile

It's possible that Emma and Tara have both got the same bug, or something, if they're sharing a room. Which might be short-lived (the bug, I mean, not the room-sharing !)

NB Glad to hear it's working out for you in NZ, flamingowings. It must feel a bit weird. I've moved to live in other countries three times now and I've always found it half exciting but half quite destabilising - sometimes funny things can throw you. And, with covid etc, it must be even more weird. Are weekends better because your partner's around then? Hang in there smile
