Shuai Zhang is so much higher ranked than the rest of the draw. Makes you wonder why she is here rather than playing the WTA events this week.

While she's been in better form since she snapped her losing streak last year, she's still been having staccato wins at Tour level so I guess dropping down has given her the chance to get a string of wins together (which has clearly worked). She will be clear favourite for the final, too, which would edge her very close to a US Open maindraw place I think.

 She won't make the USO main draw - the entry lists are already out and she's 25th alternate.

SF:- Ranah Akua Stoiber (GBR) WR552 lost to Harmony Tan (FRA) WR334 [6] 6-4 4-6 3-6

That was a nice match

Very close 

Ranah had too many loose balls, as usual, but played some nice, loose arm, attacking tennis as well, which is two sides of the same coin   

 Harmony Tan is such an unusual player to watch. Looks so comfortable on the ball with minimal effort, with some great angles, but just as likely to set up a point and then finish with a seeminlgy lazy error. That's certainly what happened at the start of the match. Didn't see the rest but sounds like her consistency increased and Ranah's didn't. I still feel Ranah could get some more pop on the ball at times, but maybe she just doesn't know how to control it enough of the time. Like her as a player.
