 Presumably you mean 'less than half her age'. Anyone from about 23 upwards is more than half her age. I think there used to be someone on here by the name of the pedant.....

They finished qualifying yesterday, but haven't placed the qualifiers. Emily has posted a picture of a sunny clay court today - so who knows ?

I suppose when you play with your twin sister you don't feel so obligated to hide your frustration when they aren't playing well or miss a sitter. Their interactions are always amusing.

Em and Sara lost 2-6 5-7. Saved four match points from 3-5 0-40, but couldn't quite hold on.

Hmm.... I thought they were right and McAdoo did touch the ball at 5-5 15-15*. She claimed the sound which sounded quite like a ball scuffing a racket frame was her shoe. Probably wouldn't have changed the result although it would have kept the momentum with them after saving those match points. It was right in front of the umpire though and he seemed certain so perhaps should give the American the benefit of my doubt!
