QF:- Madeleine Brooks (GBR) / Holly Hutchinson (GBR) CR1370 (651+719) [WC] def Valentini Grammatikopoulou (GRE) / Simona Waltert (SUI) CR561 (187+374) 1-6 6-1 10-6   

 

Now 50 points from this week and up to around 500 and 530 in live rankings

Could have been very different. Quite a few games went to deciding points, but they didn't take their chances in the first set.

Great to see Sonay doing well again. I forget sometimes shes only 20.

 If Lissey and Liv make DE after all could Holly and Madeline get the WC instead?

 I think there is a spare one anyway.. There must be a chance of a WC if they keep winning matches, although they are still improving as a pair.

Just my take but Sonay has been playing well - it's not like she's got much to reproach herself for.
But Nav just has the extra level on the closing shot

SF:- Madeleine Brooks (GBR) / Holly Hutchinson (GBR) CR1364 (650+714) [WC] LOST TO Nao Hibino (JPN) / Natalija Stevanovic (SRB) CR734 (271+463) 4-6 2-6

Pretty close, but Hibino is a level above, particularly around the net with sharper reactions. Still, a very good week with a significant rankings boost - whch Holy told me was their aim over these few months.

Bit of a trouncing, 6-2 6-1. But great week! Is she quite far off top 100 level?

 She can show us next week in Qualifying as she gets more practice.
