(Most pairs lose to Su-Wei Hsieh, so that was a very good score)

QF:- Tereza Michalikova (SVK) / Olivia Nicholls (GBR) CR58 (29+29) [2] def Alexandra Eala (PHI) / Venus Williams (USA) CR271 (151+120) 6-3 6-2

*****

SF:- Tereza Michalikova (SVK) / Olivia Nicholls (GBR) CR58 (29+29) [2] v Ellen Perez (AUS) / Demi Schuurs (NED) CR47 (21+26)

Tough draw for Olivia + in the SF having to have to play an unseeded pair that are actually ranked higher than they are.

Thank you, I thought it was wrong, but was not 100% sure.

The rankings around this level seem to change with every tournament - Liv and Tereza climbed with their London points, then dropped Berlin last year. Perez has 3180 points, Liv has 2481.
These are the sort of matches they need to win to move up into the top 8 seeding positions at the slams.

ETA

They don't have any points to drop until September, following a poor run last year. A few wins wil make a big difference.

195 points ( net 146 ) - they all count

And now, as you were saying, they have no counting points due off until September.

Thanks Indi - I did it from memory - and was wrong again !

One help is that the WTA points nowadays are basically proportional right down the line.

So a WTA 500 SF is 1/4 of the Slam 2000 SF 780 points.
