What I failed to mention before is that the Japanes pair have CH's of 136 and 112, so are experienced players.

That was a shame - there was some pretty dodgy doubles play at the end there, just at the wrong moment.....

Pity. And I missed it all as it started earlier than I expected.

Still such a good week hope both girls can really push on from here, Liv has the doubles game sorted with her serve volleys and general net play so strong - Lissey great server and strong from the baseline. Deserved a wimbledon WC this year in my opinion but will be sure to be in the mix next.
