Dart lost her singles semi-final, but won through to the Women's Doubles final.

I see Sky Sports have their own tennis channel now. They have got rights to ATP and WTA events in a large quantity as well as the US Open. No objections from me.

She got beat; as did Heather Watson in the Women's Doubles in Abu Dhabi. Well done them both for being finalists, even in such piffling tournaments.

Cameron Norrie made the Rio Open semi-finals, but lost handsomely to some qualifier called Mavone, or Navone. He won it last year, and did well to make it to the semis.

Whisper it quietly but maybe Katie Boulter is starting to find her way.
San Diego Open, a WTA 500 event.
Wins over number 2 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia and now number 7 seed Donna Vekic have propelled Boulter into her first ever WTA 500 semi final.

Something special may be brewing here.....

Into the final.
This time beating the number 3 seed Emma Navarro 6-3 6-1.

Boulter now faces number 6 seed Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine for the title.

Jack Draper had to retire in the semi-finals of the Mexican Open. also, Neal Skupski (and friend) lost the Men's Doubles final at the same Mexican event.

Katie Boulter is a WTA 500 title winner.
She beat Marta Kostyuk 5-7 6-2 6-2 to claim the biggest win of her career and rise to 27th in the world rankings.

What a superb week for her.

Amazing stuff; hopefully she can kick on with it.

Boulter into round four at The Miami Open having beaten Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-2 6-3.
And Andy Murray beat Tomas Martin Etcheverry 7-6 (7-0) 6-3.
