Saved a hatful of match points before levelling at one set all. No choker, this one.

Regarding top 10 this year, that's impossible. She needs to be in the top 50 or so to get her share of invites to the bigger tournaments. The ones she's playing at the moment carry a couple of hundred ranking points.

She did used to struggle closing our matches but she seems to have cracked that now, looking forward to final!

YW Henman, try to bring a bit of variety to the board.

Laura just lost in the final but not before saving 5 championship points to take the second set and lead in the third:

I reckon that tournament takes her into the 60s maybe even high 50s, brilliant to see her starting to make the breakthrough that has been on hold due to injuries for a while.

Also Heather Watson through to Pan Pacific Open, hope these 2 can egg each other on!

A reall step forward for her! She actually looks as though she belongs in these type of matches!

Would not be surprised to see her inside the top 10 by the end of next year!!

Forgot to say unlucky in the final, played well though

She still cost Andy Murray a second gold at the olympics

I don't think that diet of sour grapes and hard cheese is good for you.
