In case anyone wasn't aware, Emily is trying to raise money for the Cokan Tennis Academy in Slovenia who she's worked with in the last 18 months and who's entire set-up was wrecked in recent flooding.

The fund now stands at over £15k after three weeks, but still needs much more.

I'm overseas with work so couldn't get a stream up but maybe that was the best! Looked a real tussle with neither pair able to build up a lead. But our girl is through, and given she is defending Chennai from last year that's a really important, as well as being very good, win!

Woohoo - im off for a celebratory red wine and baguette.

That's a decent win as both those youngsters are pretty well-ranked in singles

Very glad to see Freya trying her luck with a different partner

Rain today cut short the day's play, so Em will play early tomorrow as will the other QF - with both semis to be played later in the day.
