Chloe Birch (Top) & Lauren Smith (Bottom left) produced their career best result by beating Malaysia's experienced pair Lee Meng Yean and Yap Cheng Wen in the Round of 16 of French Open Super Series 700 19-21 22-24 21-16
This pair reformed but is now history. Lauren decided to give up her women’s doubles for mixed. Chloe’s chance for the Olympics has now passed. Chloe’s court movement is far better than Lauren’s but perhaps there’s not enough depth in talent in the England squad to pair up Chloe.
