If my spreadsheet is correct we have 15 doubles players going into Friday including all of our top 14 apart from Jodie and Sam.
Yes, looks right. Rather remarkable really. And indeed seems to be 13 of our top 16 if you include #16 Lily who follows #15 Holly in the GB rankings.
Just Katie Swan and Katy Dunne from further down the rankings though both are clearly also very capable doubles players. So quite a 15.
And of course Sam also played doubles this week and Jodie is injured. Holly wasn't playing but won a title last Sunday so would have been pushed to play anywhere this week. Good to see so much activity even if it's hard to actually find time to watch it around the singles.
F:- Sarah Beth Grey (GBR) / Eden Silva (GBR) CR347 (172+175) [4] v Emily Appleton (GBR) / Freya Christie (GBR) CR257 (128+129) [3]
75 points to the winners and 49 points to the runners-up. Given their existing counters they all need to win this match to make much difference to their rankings.
