End of a magnificent singles season.

looks like a tight TB, did Kata have SPS?

Nadia served for it at *5-4, goes broken, then at *6-5, Nadia was 30-love and loses 4 points to lose the game. In the TB, Nadia goes *6-2 up but nothing... finally Nadia wins on his 5th? MP.

If they reach the semis, they move to 4th place with 2425 points. If they reach the quarterfinals, they remain in 5th place (behind Kata and Sugi).
