Isabella wins 6-4 7-6(4). Caught the tiebreak as I'd never seen her play. Looks like she has a nice, tidy game at this level. Her opponent had the bigger hit but could be wild and her attitude was atrocious.
Following last week's W35 SF, this will push Alicia's CH up further to around 445 with hopefully again more to come this week. FWIW moves her ahead of Ranah as provisionally GB # 15 & 16.
She beat Sarah R Rajaonah in Roehampton this year, on the way to taking the title
Sarah was WR 184 at the time, according to the WTA site
must be a glitch in the Tennis Abtract recording - as CD says, the French girl was the top seed in that Roehampton event and has moved up the rankings further since then
L16:- Helena Bueno (BRA) / Isabella Wong (GBR) UNR (1159+UNR) v Lan Mi (CHN) / Kate Sharabura (USA) CR2361 (1157+1204) 7-6(4) 4-6 9-11 A very noisy opponent (not sure which was which) had a MTO at 9-9 in the MTB, which obviously disrupted the play.

QF:- Ariana Arseneault (CAN) / Alicia Dudeney (GBR) CR526 (214+312) [1] v Lan Mi (CHN) / Kate Sharabura (USA) CR2361 (1157+1204)
