Regardless of tomorrow's result, that's a POM nomination for Katy.
24 Points this week so far will put her into the top 700, a big jump.

biggrin

If anyone knew her on social media (??!) I would be telling her and getting her friends and family to vote!

Same goes for any nomination anyone knows, in case anyone wonders!!

Pom vote suddenly got a lot more interesting !

Mervatron2 · ATP qualifying

Bloody brilliant. Im thrilled for her.

She might not be match fit, however she has been working hard on her fitness during this period. Been following her progress on insta.

Would be a lovely way to end the year for her to win tomorrow and set her up brilliantly for 2026.

I'm suprised she has done so well so quickly.
We know the talent is there, but she has been out for months and has not played a lot of tennis since, so i didnt think the match fitness would be there yet.

She was out for just over 3 months from early August to early November and has now played 11 matches in 4 tournaments since returning. So more than half her matches have been in this event.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Katy was 5-3 up

Had at least one set point

But ended up losing the set 7-5

Yes, twice up a break, but making a lot of errors. One match too many ?

Katy missed a sp at 5-3* and then completely fell apart at *5-4 sending everything miles long. And then compounded it by throwing in a couple of dodgy droppers at *5-6 and I think only won 2 points in the last 3 games to lose the first set 5-7.

F:- Katy Dunne (GBR) WR847 [Q3] lost to Hibah Shaikh (USA) WR472 5-7 0-6

Struggling to finish the match in the end, holding the top of her left leg. Six matches in a week was one too many but still good progress on the road to recovery.

Katy loses the second set 0-6 in 20 minutes. At 0-3 she took a spare racquet from her bag and destroyed it. At 0-5 she changed ends without sitting down or hydrating. At the end she ran off the court without taking her bag.
