Continued GB interest in the singles is looking unlikely, with Emily down, 2-6 2-4*

Have faith ! Em is a tough one. From *1-4 she only drops 10 points in the next five games to take the second set 6-4

And indeed Emily does keep going and wins 2-6 6-4 6-3.
Another good performance. The points will help keep her ranking up, as she has 17 points dropping off in the next month or so, and presumably will be back off to college soon.

Next up - Michaela Honcova of Slovakia - the top seed, ranked 316

So Francesca Di Lorenzo was the number 1 seed for the NCAA women's singles tournament and is ranked 360 (but down to 287 in July) a 1997 er (JCH 11) and is probably the strongest player in women's college tennis at the moment.

A good performance here against Michaela Honcova who is around about the equivalent rank at 316 (but as low as 235 in 2013) would be a boost prior to the start of Emily's sophomore year. Great to see Emily win through to the weekend regardless.
