Week 23 - W100 Surbiton, Great Britain - Grass

Crispy · Strong Club Player

EA really should be ranked much higher, she has an excellent game. Hopefully this is the beginning of a step-up.

I think the reason that Emily's ranking is lower than it should be is that she has been targeting doubles this year and the only tournaments she has played below W50 are Loughborough and Sunderland. So she has only won a few matches at W100 and W75 level. This week should give her a lot of confidence.

Emily wins 3 & 2. A really good win over the young Australian, who put out the top seed on Tuesday.

Looks as if Tara will enter the doubles rankings next week straight into the 800's. 39 points here for reaching the SF so far.

It appears that Tara has a TADP (Tennis Anti Doping Programme) Special Ranking as recently introduced by the WTA for players provisionally suspended returning to competition with a no fault or negligence decision and no suspension. She's in Birmingham with Beth with a combined ranking of 234 - Beth's current ranking + Tara's doubles ranking of 88 going into Roland Garros 2022.

Thanks, Lambda, that's excellent news. If they continue to play well together they will be at Wimbledon.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Oh fantastic, I was hoping she'd be eligible under that rule.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Great news, Lambda

And didn't have tickets for today, so only dropped in and out of Emily's match on livestream

But that looked like pretty much a walk in the park

Tanaqui · Club Coach

Well done, Emily!

And that's good news about Tara (and good on the WTA for introducing TADP SRs it seems like a very sensible thing to have for those that qualify). Thanks for sharing that, Lambda.

Harriet looks to be on her way out. Naiktha a set all.

Dart is such a confidence player. Looked down and out at a set and 3-1 down but takes second set 6-3

Jan · Hall of fame

Long discussion between Naiktha and the umpire at 3-3 in the 3rd. I've no idea what it's about.

the addict · Tennis legend

Naiktha goes out in three, 6-4 in the decider.

And Harriet also lost.

Down to Katy to support Emily into the last 8.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Harriet will be frustrated by AVU knows her way around a grass court. Shame though that both her and Naiktha were a break up in the third.
