Samantha was a late withdrawal.

Joanna Garland who could have represented GB does not seem to have made much progress in climbing the rankings.

Perhaps she'll switch if China invades and annexes Taiwan!

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

The American woman played a horrible game when it was 4-3*, on serve, to Naiktha.

And Naiktha served it out quite well.

Ended up winning quite nicely.

Q2: BAINS, Naiktha (GBR) 7 290 (CH=199 2020) v VORACOVA, Renata (CZE) WC UNR (CH=74 2010)
Voracova beat the number 14 seed, so has clearly not forgotten how to play. Voracova is now 38.

Doubles

L16:- Bibiane Schoofs (NED) / Eden Silva (GBR) CR310 (158+152) v Angelina Gabueva (RUS) / Anastasia Zakharova (RUS) CR458 (225+233)

Big points on offer this week, but Eden needs to reach the SF to improve her ranking. But even winning this match will provide a healthy 28 point non-counter, although it wouldn't come into play before next March.
