Fantastic week for Sonay, whatever happens in the final, but fingers crossed she can take the title!

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I was disappointed not to see her play as i've missed her other matches and was 'all set', but still great for her to get a rest before tomorrow. Sorry for the other girl who was all friendly and smiley when she walked on but 'brave face' probably as she had been feeling poorly all week I think they said.

They had a very close encounter in Bath last year when Rebecca won two tie breaks in a three set match, so it won't take much to edge the match to a different result.

Hope she wins tomorrow though she would then jump above my prediction....

3. Sonay 106

Unfortunately I had Emma as my reserve as I wasn't sure she would get top 100 so quickly and forgot to sub her in after Wimbledon....never mind.

So Sonay has never won a WTA main draw match before this week???

Wonderful from Sonay - and 4 in the top 100 would be incredible.

(Apropos of nothing, but I noticed Australia is in a very bizarre position rankings wise - no-one between 1-100, no-one between 200-300, but 13 women between 101 and 199!)

This will change next week. Gadecki's run to the Guadalajara final will take her to #88 on Monday.

Just in case......who can remember whose first wta title was not even as a qualifier but as a lucky loser, it was just under 5 years ago?

Some very close games early in the match but Sonay now in charge. Sramkova looking very flustered.

*4-1
