QF:- Sarah Beth Grey (GBR) / Yuriko Lily Miyazaki (GBR) CR 389 (158+231) v Jodie Anna Burrage (GBR) / Eden Silva (GBR) CR 671 (495+176 )
Hmm... that could be problematic. I would have expected all 4 of these to be in Nottingham qualifying either directly or with a WC, so they could miss out if still in at Notts sign in deadline tomorrow.

I see there are 2 rounds of doubles tomorrow.
Can't they just phone sign in? Obviously that would still be a problem for whoever reaches the final, but shouldn't it be OK for the rest?

Sure they can. I wasn't trying to suggest they needed to be physically on site. That would be impossible for all of them unless they've got a helicopter. The point I was failing miserably to make was that I didn't think that they would be allowed to sign in if they were still competing at the sign in deadline. But on checking the WTA rulebook, they can still sign in if their next match in the tournament they are still competing in is no later than sign in deadline day, but they would be subject to fines if they couldn't play. That the SF is also scheduled today helps in that regard for the winners of the QF. So, in other words, forget i said anything.
Big argument in Sam and Lisseys match. Looks like they called the referee.
Gutted I missed the drama! But the girls are through in two close sets. Would be very happy to see them take the title this week.
They need to at least reach the final to improve their points tally.
Would that be enough to get Lissey into the Top 100?
According to Coric, Lissey's lowest counter is 48 and the semi-final is worth 50 points. Those two extra points would take her to WR100. But she does have a 78 point counter dropping off later this month.
