Go Katie

LordBrownof · Futures level

This will be tough for Katie, Su-Wei beat M-Lad, Kanepi and Parmentier in the latter part of last year.

Well done Katie! Good luck in the Final!

Certainly with these wins and having only 9 tournaments last year, added to her CH, she looks much stronger than her current ranking would indicate.

Yes, it looks like another tough Final for Katie - she has lost her last four (Vigo 2&0 to Hlavackova and Woking 5&4 to Babos last year, Shrewsbury in 3 sets to Bally and Vigo 5&2 to Stoop in 2009), her last title was at the Jersey 25K in March 2009, when she beat Claire Feuerstein FRA 7-5 1-0 ret. Se also won Sutton in 2009, beating Konta.

Anyone know if Katie's final is likely to be on Bet365 Live Inplay?. It's not showing listed at the mo, but maybe someone knows at what point yesterdays semi actually showed in the listings? The match is scheduled for 12pm Mildura local time; I am also flummoxed at to whether that is 11pm, 12am or 1am here ?

Help needed !!
