Match up of the weekend

They’re in Tallinn this weekend so not racing PTO US Open but they’re ranked 7th and 8th. On paper Laura should take it and she’s won 66% of the races where they faced off…but it’s been almost 3 years and Emma has been on fire recetly.

That's it for today, now finish your oats and get back to training!
