British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

I've no idea about all the numbers and live rankings projected above

All I know is that we got three out of three today

Two women in the semis in singles, and a pair into the doubles finals

That's pretty good

SF:- Hannah Klugman (GBR) WR439 [JR] v Caroline Werner (GER) WR286

SF:- Sofia Johnson (GBR) WR459 [Q3] v Linda Fruhvirtova (CZE) WR174 [2]

Edit:- Sorry CD - had that set up waiting for Werner (and the football) to finish, didn't see your post

Sofia 4-6 *0-1. She was *4-3 up. 2 breaks to 3 in the first set.

A very tight mstch in the scores, with 6 of the first 11 ganes going to deuce and 4 to 30.

THat was a shame

She started off as way the better player

And had plenty of chances

But Linda relaxed in the second and started hitting far more cleanly through the ball and there was no contest

If Sofia had managed to hold onto her early advantage in the first, and squeaked a win in the first, Linda wouldn't have been the same player

Hannah won 7-6(3) 3-6 7-6(5) 

Overlla, a very good match from Hannah

She was having trouble with UEs at the start - a bit slow - it was 32 degrees and full sun at the start so maybe that was a factor

But started to play better, forced herself to take the ball on

And then in the second set she had a real slump, just lost her head

The third was a very good set though - a real example of her progress

She was the more offensive player - Werner kept hitting a very good length, working the ball, targeting Hannah's backhand

But Hannah made herself stay on the front foot (as much as she could)

And she really deserved it
