So, firstly well done to Fabrice on winning the doubles event here, and hard luck to Anna who was runner up.
But both of them make their respective singles finals, Anna plays rival Eva Blanc and Fabrice plays Aussie Archie Graham.
Good luck to both in their finals- Anna looks in better singles form that Eva but maybe the early round scores are misleading?
Thanks
Eva played poorly up until that doubles match, then suddenly played. Her coach was furious with her after her earlier matches. So I expect that was not fun. Hanne and Eva effectively targeted Anna's partner with high balls and down the court balls. Eva and Hanne had a few days doubles training before this event as well. Kelly and Anna actually had 8 break points and only took 1.
So Fab from GB takes the doubles trophy alongside Archie. Aidan and Olly took the 2nd place men's trophy. Anna and Kelly took the 2nd place women's trophy.
The finals are tomorrow afternoon Melbourne time. So time for Anna to rest. She has been worn out by a very busy schedule. Who knows which Eva and Anna turns up tomorrow. Anna has much the better form in singles so far. However it could be really close, or very one sided either way.
