Just seen the doubles trophy - probably NOT one to win.

F:- Katie Boulter (GBR) WR40 [2] v Chloe Paquet (FRA) WR148 (CH=96)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Amazing that Chloé Paquet has made the final

She gets a lot of stick, in a sort of Boggo way, as someone who survives thanks to FFT favour and RG WCs - but never, ever does anything at RG

She's certainly had a bit of luck making the final here

But I'm really pleased for her - why would she turn down the FFT help? And of course she'd win RG if she could !!! She's not losing just to be difficult

Allez, Katie !!!! But if Katie can't manage it on the day, then allez Chloé

Yes - and a bit surprising - I mean, I was expecting a crystal jar of hand cream, or something - where did that red monster guy come from????

Great tournament for Katie. Hopefully she can go to the French Open with a bit more confidence regarding clay perhaps realising it isn't like playing tennis on an ice rink.
