Special K

Well done to Anne Keothavong who has become the first British woman since Jo Durie in 1983 (the year of my birth!) to reach a WTA clay court semi-final.

For years an also ran, Keothavong's improvement has been dramatic over the last 18 months. She ended 2007, as the world no 122 but has made a massive jump. She will return to the World's top 50 after this success.

Suddenly things are starting to look more rosy for British tennis.
