That was quite a recovery. The 2nd seed was serving at a set and 4-0 up and Sonay levelled at 4-4 and took it to a tie break which she won. If she wins the final set we can start calling her Houdini.

Steady win for Tara and Beth over a pretty ordinary pair in Aiava and Smith 4 & 5

Sonay had a break point in the 3rd but didn't convert and went on to lose her service in the next game and never recovered.

I think Emily has an excellent game for grass and will be a danger all summer in singles if she gets the opportunities.

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.

 A title would be something!

 I'm expecting Harriet and Greet to win this - unless Emily and Lily can beat them.

A truly lovely day at Surbiton today

Emily was SO in control of that match

And although Linda F looked horribly lacking in confidence in the first set, she started putting a little more on the ball in the second, and Emily missed chances to really hammer the nail home. And she was threatened with a break back. AND then pulled out some absolutely stellar serves. As said on the other threads earlier this year, her serve is technically so nice, with power, it's one of the best serves amongst our girls (puts Sonay's into the shade, for instance)

And unlike Harriet on that court in previous years when the pressure of the crowd being SO close and pretty rowdy made her choke in epic proportions, Emily kept calmly going about her business.

And won handsomely

I was smiling for 10 minutes solid afterwards.....

In terms of doubles, Millie & Maddie didn't really have anything to get excited about

Sam looked very sharp, on the other hand

Naiktha & Maia should have wrapped up the first set but Emily was obviously unstoppable today (and Lily seemed to be enjoying herself too)
