Through to the final without hitting a ball smile

That's good news - I didn't fancy them to win that one !

And as I understand it, as they have alredy played and won a match they will receive ranking point for reaching the final i.e. 81 points - although it won't be a counter for either of them - they need the title.

Katie playing right now. Three games in and it is *1-2 with a break each and a total of 32 points played !

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Katie takes the first set 6-4 :)

the addict · Tennis legend

Drops the second set 1-6. The few points I watched seemed to end with Katie firing wide .......

Wel done Katie

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Well done, Katie

Nicely done, overall

Clay's not the favourite surface for Else either - the two of them looked a bit bambi-like - but it's great experience for Katie to get another clay win underher belt

Reaching the final of a Clarins tournament will be a good cleanser for Katie

Score was written the wrong way round as Katie won the 3rd set to win the match,

I have to reply to myself and apologise to Katie. A good effort to have had three wins this week.

No worries - we are all familiar with the concept of reverse psychology!
