Top Seeds In Brest Open Final
England's top seed Dominique Lloyd-Walter and second seed Olga Puigdemont Sola, from Spain, will meet in the final of the Women's Brest Open in the French coastal city.

Lloyd-Walter maintained her fine form in the event as she cruised to a 9-2 9-4 9-0 win over Denmark's third seed Line Hansen.  The impressive 22-year-old world No30 from Harrow has dropped just nine points in three matches.

Sola was given a tougher ride in her semi-final against fourth seed Katline Cauwels.  The Belgian took the opening game - and forced the fourth into a tie-break - but the Spanish favourite eventually prevailed to win 8-10 9-4 9-3 10-8.
