 Is this a freebie?

More the result of trying to input results in the early hours of the morning.

 Sorry - I couldn't resist pulling your leg.

I think she may already be at a new career high but none of the live ranking sites are adding the correct points or dropping the correct points to know for sure.

Not even warming up yet  - going to bed

The weather forecast for Traralgon was for sunny intervals and showers for most of the day so I guess that is the reason for the 2 hour plus delay.

Jodie broke to love for *2-1.

Broken to 15 after a couple of poor shots 2-2

Better play as she breaks again to 15 for *3-2

 

An ace and an unret 2nd as Jodie holds to 15 4-2

 

Backhand crosscourt winner from Jodie, then 2 errors from EB, a deep backhand that EB can't deal with, earns J another break 5-2

 

3 unreturned serves as J holds to 15 6-2

 

-------

 

Emina holds from 0-30. Jodie careless 2nd serve return into the net. *0-1

 

Stream froze. Jodie saves BP with a backhand down the line winner but a wild forehand gifts EB another chance that she takes, punishing a 2nd serve 0-2

 

Easy hold to love for Emina 0-3

Jodie holds to 30 1-3

 

Emina saves 2 BPs after errors earlier in the game. Jodie didn't do enough with a 2nd serve return 1-4

 

JB routine hold 2-4

 

After a super forehand crosscourt winner to set up BP, Jodie dumps a return in the net and screams in frustration. 2-5

 

An ace to finish a dominant game 3-5

 

EB volley wide, forehand error long, JB disputes call after E forehand surprisingly called on the line for a winner. A good return sets up 2BPs. E wins a rally after a 2nd serve. Then a forehand after her serve saves the 2nd. Jodie with a super forehand sets up another chance, that she takes with an aggressive backhand crosscourt *4-5

 

A poor f from J for 15-30 but she takes the next three points with a volley winner, then a b dtl, E poor error. 5-5

 

From 30-15, Jodie backhand crosscourt winner, E f wide, then a low return that E attempting to serve and volley, nets. 6-5

 

First serve goes missing. Broken to love. Awful 6-6

 

Jodie gets early mini break, then a poor error gives it away. E error for 3-1. J df 3-3. Another E error 5-3. Then 6-4. A poor backhand into the net immediately after her serve wastes MP 1. E saves MP 2 with an unreturned1st serve. Pattern of Jodie playing well to reach MP then unable to hold her nerve continues with MPs 3 and 4. Should do a lot more with a backhand but it is far too central, E soon takes control of the rally. She doesn't do enough with her return on MP 4 allowing Emina to attack. Shocking forehand error presents Emina with set point that she takes. 6-7

 

-------

 

Several impressive winners as J holds  1-0

 

A good return to start but E recovers 1-1

 

Another easy hold for Jodie 2-1

 

Wasn't paying attention 2-2

 

Jodie smash into the net, then a df for 30-30. Comes up with b winner then forehand winner to hold to 30 3-2

 

Jodie fights back to 40-40 but Emina comes up with a good first serve. 3-3

 

JB holds to 15. Not great from EB. 4-3

 

Backhand pass winner from Jodie. Emina aces. JB b cc winner. Than a chance on a running forehand pass but hits the net. Gets back to 40-40 then awful f error long. E holds 4-4

 

JB holds to 15. Some good shots from both 5-4

 

Jodie with an aggressive f then b cc winner for 15-30, E b error long 15-40. E big first serve saves MP. Stream freezes. 5-5

 

Emina with 2 BPs after errors from J. Nets b dtl. Big 1st serve saves the 2nd. Four times JB has game point. A wild f gives E another BP, saved with a good serve. Aggressive play earns Emina another, which she takes with a forehand pass winner 5-6

 

E with a nice lob to win the match 5-7

QF: (1) Emina Betkas (USA) & Tara Moore CR 240 (118+122) beat Isabella Bozicevic & Annerly Poulos (AUS/AUS) CR 1594 (760+834) 6-1 6-2

SF: (1) Emina Betkas (USA) & Tara Moore CR 240 (118+122) vs Miriam Kolodziejova & Jesika Maleckova (CZE/CZE) CR 458 (226+232)

That's a pity. With no seeds through to the semis there was a good chance there for Jodie.
