Heartbreaking, but what a monumental effort from Katie, first week back, and she was so close to making the final. Must have been close to exhaustion at the end of the second set, I imagine.

And her doubles final to come. Though first of all their opponents are contesting the second singles SF.

A shame but good to see her back, if she can just stay fit and healthy.

Super for Katie after that earlier ultimately losing singles SF battle. Well done!

And yes our 5th doubles of the day, extending into the next morning for us.

Really positive for Katie, an asolute beast of SF match and still fit enough to come back for the doubles final and win. For me, with the year she has had, that is fantastic news, a fit and healthy Katie will Swan up the rankings (just for you Jon)
