I saw the end of the match and wow, does Sonay belt the ball, that's some forehand she has! Well done to Beth for withstanding that barrage! Sonay's 11-match winning streak may now be over but 16-2 in singles since her return to the circuit last year is still very impressive indeed.

Soumeya and Eliz were 6-4 *4-0 up. Their opponents kept falling out during the MTB which was quite funny.

I watched pretty much the whole thing. It was possibly the most bonkers match I've ever watched.

Super doubles result from two juniors who didn't get much attention in the singles

Well done to Hannah and Tabitha

 Lovely picture of the two of them (Hannah with glasses)

Pleasing to see Hannah Smith doing well in the doubles, she had a lot of success in juniors and represented GB many times in doubles.

 Yes, me too. I don't know Tabitha at all (although I've seen her name)

But I wrote about Hannah when I saw her on livestream at the Auray Open (I think) - such a tall girl for her age, big serve, and loved coming to the net. It was an unusual game for a junior and unlikely to be hugely successful at junior level. But always stood the chance of coming into its own at adult level. So I've always watched her results more closely. As you say, great to see the doubles success here.
