Stopped the run at *5-6 to get the breaker

Take it 7-1. Keep going girls.

No there's not one from the venue this week unfortunately.

Broken from *40-15 early in the second set which is not ideal.

*1-3

F:- Ekaterina Ovcharenko (***) / Emily Webley-Smith (GBR) CR670 (272+398) [3] v Mariam Bolkvadze (GEO) / Sinja Kraus (AUT) CR1741 (513+1228) 7-6(1) 2-6 11-9   

Yes!!! Oh I'm so happy for her. 8th time is the charm, and third final with Kat.

Given her career long issues in MTBs, and given they lost their last final before Christmas from 9-7* up in the breaker, when they missed the match point at 9-8* having been 1-4* down I was nervous. But a very helpful double fault from their opponents at 9-9* and they get it.

What a warrior. Great stuff!

Well Done
