Heather over many years has certainly been sonetimes prone to losing the plot and her racket going flying and/or real despair. At times this is followed by her announcing that we are going to see a 'new Heather'

Pity for her but very well done to Lily.

She's showing at live WR243 on 263 points, and has just two counters to drop in the rest of this year (12+7 replaced by 5+5) so every chance of moving up further. Looks a pretty good chance of making the cut.

 Lily now ahowing at WR214 on live rankings. A good week at Loughborough and she'll be close to WR200 (depending on other players of course)

 AO qualies opportunity ! Well done her!

With this title, 2022 is now the best single year for GB womens ITF titles above W15/$15K this century.
Collectively that makes 10 such titles this year (7 @ W25, 3 @ W60) which beats the 9 of 2018 (8 @ W25, 1 @ W60)

It also equals our best single year haul at the individual W60/S50K tier this century; we also won 3 in 2010 (Baltacha, Konta, Watson)

However, we'd need one more such title to equal our best single year since 2000 for titles >= W60/$50K; we won 4 in 2010 (3 @ $50K, 1 @ $100K) and also in 2008 (1 @ $50K, 1 @ $50K+H, 1 @ $75K, 1 @ $100K+H)

Finally, with titles at >= W25 this year from now 6 different players (Boulter, Brogan, Kartal, Miyazaki, Silva, Swan), that is also our best this century. Previously 5 different players had won a >=W25/S25K title in both 2018 & 2009.

*All figures relate only to ITF singles titles at the specified tier(s). WTA/Slam/Doubles titles are not counted above.

 Thanks for those stats, good to see that progress!

Final

F:- Freya Christie (GBR) / Ali Collins (GBR) CR404 (208+196) [1] v Irene Burillo Escorihuela (ESP) / Andrea Lazaro Garcia (ESP) CR660 (450+210)   

A great comeback from Freya and Ali from *1-4 in the first set !

---

 With their 6-4 6-1 win in the final, that's now since the start of August 4 titles in 5 doubles events for Ali and for Ali & Freya as a partnership ( Freya played another couple of doubles events while Ali missed a few weeks ) - 2 W25s, a W80+H, and now a W60, worth in total 310 points out of their total counting points on 24/10, ie. out of 483 for Ali and 461 for Freya. ( points that will give them both CHs on 24/10 and loads of scope to go higher wirh their points so weighted to recent months ).
