I think we can call that a good win since it was 2&1!

Sofia winning would be a lovely surprised though, she's taken the first set again Tan who hasn't played since retiring from her match in Istanbul in mid-July
Everyone knows that I don't really rate Tan
I'd describe Tan as a solid 200ish player which, based on ranking, would be a good win for Sofia even though we hope she can go higher than that and has competed well against better players

Oh, it's definitely a decent win

But Tan isn't someone I rate - she gets her ranking through grind rather than sparkle

And that grind has now caused problems, which isn't that surprising

Must say I thought Jodie would win that.
I was pretty sure Océane would win
But I also thought Mika would probably win

Thats why I keep on losing on the gambling sites

How are Mika and Jodie going to cope against the might of the Czech girls in the BJ King cup?

Surely time to give the fifth spot to Fran given Mika's woeful form. As she said last week, "I'm just glad to keep putting to bed everyone that keeps saying I'm a bloody clay-court player".

Yes. It would be extraordinary to have Jodie and Mika rather than Fran in the singles spots.

That's assuming Fran actually wants to play BJK Cup?

Hannah serves out the first set at the second time of asking, 6-4.

I continue to be impressed by the way Hannah has matured and progressed this summer. Would love to see a final between Hannah and Fruhvirtova

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

A nice performance from Hannah

Margaux was dropshotting her to death - drop shot, lob, drop shot, lob

Hannah had to keep a cool head and take the game to her - which (for the most part) she did very well

In the team of 4 so far announced, the singles players are Katie, Harriet and Mika ( so yes re Fran ). And Jodie is surely there just for doubles given we clearly have no better doubles options??

Why would you take Jodie just for doubles? Why not take Olivia or Maia or whoever?
