I imagine she will now pull out of the 2 x 125ks in Portugal

Well done Katie. Four in the top 100 smile

Enjoyed that

I presume she hasn't made the cut for either of the W1000s and she may think it's a good idea to get some more match time while she's in such good form. Also replacing a zero counter with 125 points would definitely help her ranking.

Oh lovely from Korpatsch saying Katie had a word with her after a bad defeat after injury. It meant a lot obviously. I suppose a side of pro tennis we dont often see.

Lets see how long it takes for the BBC to actually report that one of our leading players won a WTA250 today. Over half an hour and still counting. Tons of coverage on Emma within nanoseconds of her defeat, but IMO there appears to be a 2-tier reporting cycle: Emma and everyone else

So pleased Katie came through - Tamara gave her a good match. Nice 'trophy' smile

Exactly the kind of tournament where a new coach and player combo get to learn about each other, try some things, and build a relationship around. Lovely!
