OXENHOPE tennis ace Fran Jones has bounced back from her US Open injury heartbreak impressively, reaching a pair of semi-finals on clay already this month.
She was particularly on song last week in Slovenia, as she played in a WTA $125,000 event in Ljubljana.
Jones took down the number one seed Chloe Paquet in her opening match, winning 6-2, 6-3.
Petra Marcinko was then seen off 7-5, 6-1, before the Brit then took down Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva in her quarter-final with a 6-3, 6-4 victory.
Jones took on Jil Teichmann in the last-four, but despite romping to the first set, she was pegged back by her Swiss opponent, who claimed a 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory.
The previous week saw her feature at the ITF France 16A tournament in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer.
Jones saw off Lucie Nguyen Tan 6-1, 6-3 in her opener, before despatching Sapfo Sakellaridi 6-2, 6-1 in the last-16.
The quarter-final brought the Oxenhope talent a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Alice Robbe, but once again, the last-four proved a bridge too far.
Jones was beaten there by Kaitlin Quevedo, the Spaniard hitting back from losing the opening set to love.
In a great battle between the pair, Quevedo eventually came out on top with a 0-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.
