Anne's tweeted that she's going to fly to Luxembourg tomorrow, and Hev that she's better and already practising there.

So here's to a good week by our top three women!

Well done Anne. FQR tomorrow.

Elena Drew Julia Georges first round. There is a reasonable chance of an upset as Georges has been a shadow of her pre wimby form. Also, Elena beat her recently as well.

A healthy bit of competition. What's happened to Robbo, it's gone quiet with her.

Hmm, interesting start to Bally's match. Goerges served first.

*0-1
1-1* Cos Bally gave the break straight back (and DF'd to complete the damage)
*2-1
2-2*
*2-3 Bally broke again.

But anne won her match in 3 sets against Minella. She has semi final points to defend here, so needs another good run.
Perhaps Ivanovic next though, with Mr. Sears in her corner.

A healthy bit of competition. What's happened to Robbo, it's gone quiet with her.
Others will know better than me, but she is still technically a junior and my understanding is she has a limited no. of tournaments she can play per year while a junior. So that is probably why things go quiet from time to time!

Ana broke Anne to go *2-1 but Anne has broken back and held so it's on serve at *2-3 in the 2nd set.
Anne took the first 6'3.

Another win for Anne!!!

She's just beaten Bibiane Schoofs 6'3, 6'2 to book a place in the Semi-Final in Luxembourg.

This is going to be tough. Nicola is at her career high as is currently WR 34.
Good luck Anne.

Al the best for Anne as it will be tough, but she has shown some good form!

Sallydaisy

It's not going well for Anne today.

She has lost the first set 5'7 and is down a break already in the 2nd, trailing Nicolescu 0-2
:sad:

Sallydaisy
22-10-2011, 13:44
BUT. Anne broke back, held, broke again and is now serving at *3-2 in the 2nd set.
