Remarkably Laura Slater is the third Brit so far to secure a doubles title this week (*) and still be in with a chance of a singles title. In the absence of the Omani girl she partnered last week, Laura heavily outranks the whole field, and teamed up with the other British Laura here (Deigman) to win the doubles.

(*) Edit:  I may be jumping the gun as the Thomson twins are only in the final, with David still in the singles. Richard Gabb is the only other confirmed doubles winner still in the singles.
