I looked on my way home and she was break point down at 1-1 in the decider. Feared the worst but glad she came through.
Think she has to win the tournament to have any chance of making into the Aussie Open qualifying.
It's just one match at a time, one set at a time, one game at a time. No pressure tennis, do what can be done on the day. What will be, will be.
Katie is also on the MD entry list for the W25 here again next week and on the UAE W100 qualifying list for the week beginning 04/12. Both of these could add to her points before 18/12, the relevant ranking date for Aus Open qualifying entry. And she has nothing to drop.
QF:- Madeleine Brooks (GBR) / Holly Hutchinson (GBR) CR569 (285+284) [1] LOST TO Alicia Melosch (GER) / Johanna Silva (GER) CR2578 (1289+1289) (3)6-7 (4)6-7
They led by a break at various points in both sets - there were 6 breaks each way.
