Thanks CD - I wasn't aware of Paul's British links. Ella and Mimi easily won their doubles against Imogen and Victoria so Ella will face Kaitlin twice today
Good luck for Mimi. Quevedo could be tough having beaten Isabelle Lacy twice this year, Ella twice and Mimi and Given Roach once, she seems to specialise in beating Brits! Nevertheless good week already for Mimi.
No joy in the doubles, a semi final defeat, but both will get a ranking boost.
Also worth reminding that there are a few due to drop out of the rankings at the end of the year, which will help all the GB girls.
It is Mimi's first Grade 1 final and will take her up to around 50 in the rankings. Her opponent's form is ominous (apart from stats already mentioned she has only had one extended set this week) but she is also playing in her first Grade 1 final

That'll be very nice
And I make it that there will only be six 2007/2008 players above her

Out of interest, where might a tournament win take her in the rankings ?
