We may have had a terrible time in Challengers and WTA qualifying this week, but we have five players in action in semis or finals today! 
In chronological order, they are:
New Delhi IND 10K FINAL: (1) Emily Webley-Smith WR 324 v (2) Poojashree Venkatesha (IND) WR 459 - sometime this morning our time - can Emily make it 10 singles wins and her second title in a row?
Eupen BEL 10K FINAL: Dan Smethurst WR 809 v Yannick Vandenbulcke (BEL) WR 704 - 14.00 BST - Dan won two matches yesterday, seeing off the top seed (WR 480) in the semis and will probably be in the GB top 15 (from GB 21 now) on Monday week.
Tallinn EST 10K SF: Jade Windley WR 775 v (8) Diana Marcinkevica (LAT) WR 769 - c. 14.00 BST - Jade has gone on a wonder run this week, seeing off the no. 6 and no. 4 seeds 2 & 1 and 2 & 2!
Irún ESP 15K FINAL: Morgan Phillips WR 767 v (8) Charles-Antoine Brezac (FRA) WR 529 - 16.00 BST - yes, not one but two GB men in Finals on clay this week (!) and it is Morgan's second Final in a row - last week's run took him back into the top 700, this week's run will already take him back into the top 600 on Monday week and a win today would take out his pre-injury career high and overtake Eaton & Marray unless they can score points in Challengers next week! Brezac is in very good form though and is 5-0 v Brits including a win against Bloomers earlier this month.
Montréal CAN ATP Masters 1000 SF: (3) Andy Murray WR 3 v (7) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga WR 7 - n/b 20.00 BST - just a little matter of the WR 2 spot at stake here!
