Week 36 - WTT W50 - Evora, Portugal - Hard
Permalink  

Sofia will be the 6th different Britiah player Kayla Cross has played since the beginning of June. Mimi  and Harriet defeated her, Katie B  lost to her in Toronto and Megan Knight lost  by the same scoreline as Mika lost today.Mika may have beaten Jodie but she is still yet to beat anyone other than a fellow Brit since Edgbaston.

Kayla's getting me quite cross 

C'mon Sofia !

This latest good run with a very nice looking win today has taken Sofia up to live ranked 386 and to GB #13 ( in a very tight group from #11 to #15 )

Swan takes the first set 6-4 against Rapolu, who seems a very capable player. Quite a ding-dong match, with Swan defending breakpoints to serve it out.

 Yes, Rapolu must be an ex-college player, I presume - as you say, she has a nice game, certainly better than her ranking

 Always panic if Katie has a MTO

 Likewise but doesn't look like it was anything too serious as she's now *5-1 up in the decider and about to serve for the match

Katie a double break down 3-0 after 20 mins and is already having an MTO, feels like we've been here so many times before cry

 

Sofia has just broken back to level things up in the first set against Cross

It's so disheartening for her and her ranking could slip again because she has quite a number of points to defend over the next 6 weeks
