Diana won the Doubles
Her next tournament is 50K Joue Les TOurs
Her and Bibiane obviously make a good pair so hopefully they play together more in the future
She is soo close to breaking the Top 200 now in Doubles

Diana has had some amazing results in the past couple of weeks
First, she played 50K Joue-Les-Tours where she qualified before unluckily losing R1 to Alison Riske. Alison has been in good form though and went on to beat some good players But the great news was that Diana made the final of the Doubles This has halped to propel herself to a new career high of 194 in Doubles Top 200
This week she played in 25K Glasgow, where she had some great wins including over Sarah Gronert who beat her in the final of Woking-Foxhills and Tara Moore. She unfortunately lost in the SF to Samantha Murray 7-6(7) 7-5. I hope there wasn't choke but definitely a missed opportunity. She is in the Doubles Final though as top seeds with Jegiolka, who she won a 25K with at the beginning of the year in Sunderland and the made the final with last week A good pairing
When her points come on next week she will be around 230
Next week she is playing 75K + H in Ismaning where she has 4 points to defend before she comes back to GB for 75K Barnstaple
I hope she plays some WTAs next year She could have played the WTA Challengers this year; they would have been weaker than these events

Another update on Diana
She took a week off before returning to England to play in 75K Barnstaple. She unfortunately lost in R1 to Keothavong but in a close match, 6-4 6-4 and Keothavong was defending champion Her major success though, was in Doubles where she, with Sasha Sasnovich went on to make the Final This pushed her ranking up to a CH of 168 She is currently at 243 (CH 238) in Singles and 169 (CH 168) in Doubles
Unfortunately, last week she lost another 1st Round, this time of 25K Equeurdreville, to Amra Sadikovic, 6-3 6-3. She also lost again this week in Zawada (Opole) 25K to Jasmina Tinjic 7-6(6) 2-6 6-3 I hope this isn't the beginning of a slump She won her 1st Round Doubles with Pekhova though

She lost in R2 of Andrezieux-Boutheon to Yuliya Beygelzimer today, 2-6 6-1 2-6.

It's okay though, Yuliya is much more experimented and underranked.

Unlucky loss for Diana. Let's hope she can have a good year.

She's in MD EL for 25K Grenoble next week!

She gets (8)Corinna Dentoni in R1.

[Mary Chain]

10K Macon - she's the top seed

R1 vs. (Q)Harmony Tan

Diana
Why is she wasting her time with 10Ks

[Mary Chain]

Yep, that's a bit weird. Maybe she want to find some confidence?

She won her R1 match 0 & 3

She has been in good form recently, almost beating Zahlavova (who beat Pliskova much more easily) and beating Dentoni and Mayr-Achleitner
Except for the fact that there are no tournaments, there is no reason to play because I think that even if she wins it will barely count in her Top 16 and the prize money is shit

[Mary Chain]

She lost in QF to (6)Bonaventure 6-3 3-6 5-7
