It's astonishing to think that Emily's standout performance came 21 years ago, when she narrowly missed out on reaching the singles third round at Wimbledon.

 Yes, she's been around a long time biggrin

But she hasn't played a lot of singles in the last three years, and possibly her last higher level win was over Sophie Chang WR225 at Surbiton two years ago.

 There you go then! Sorry, I thought you were asking a question back! Yes, seems shes been in a couple of W100 finals and some years ago, winning one.

I have just scrolled through 25 years of tournaments on her ITF profile - that's a lot of tournaments. Unless I've missed something she's made one WTA main tour semifinal before and a few quarter finals. I don't think she has made a W125 final. Her biggest title to date was an ITF W100 at Midland in 2015.

 Wiki has its faults but often makes scrolling easier!

Unfortunately that Wiki article only covers up to 2011, although the table of doubles finals us up to date.
Emily has confirmed to me that it is her first final.

And it is worth a POM nomination, but after the final
