Oh dear.
Despite winning the first set Evans could not capitalise and ultimately fell to a rather disappointing defeat in 4 sets.
Argentina go on to meet Croatia in the final.

A rather sad end really .

Eh well, I remember the days when we were lucky to get a play-off against a cardboard box.

Semi-finalists! Woo-hoo!

Maria Sharapova has had her suspension reduced to 15 months.
She will be back on the tennis circuit next April

25 year old Johanna Konta moved into the world top 10 after reaching the final of the China Open by beating Madison Keys 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-4.

The last British woman to break the world's top 10 was Jo Durie in 1984.

well done Johanna fantastic boost for the British women's game

Jo Konta lost 4-6 2-6 to Radwanska in the final of the China Open.

shocked to hear Petra Kvitova got stabbed in the hand fighting off a Burglar

Out for at least 3 months apparently after surgery to repair nerves and tendons in her left hand.
Wish her a full recovery.

Seems Petra can move her fingers on her injured left hand which is good news

Yes that is encouraging news.
Tennis needs her back as soon as she is fit enough to return. I still think there is more to come from her.
Hoping her prospects are good .
