Terrible start from Katy, *0-4 winning very few points. Game seems to have picked up dramatically though, now *2-4

Didn't last. And the breaks of serve continue - 4 in a row in the second set, so it is 2-6 3-2*

Recovery on the way ? From *3-5, Katy takes the second set 7-5 and will serve first in the decider.

From 1-1 Katy went out to a 4-1 lead, including a run of 12 points out of 14. Then there was a MTO, and on the resumption, Bejenaru got it back to 4-4. But a hold and a break by Katy saw her through 2-6 7-5 6-4 in 2 hours 28 minutes.

Brits 2 Bejenaru 7

Katy strikes a blow, eventually.

Very tricky task next, 16 year old JWR 12 Simona Waltert, who I have heard the Swiss call, 'like Belinda [Bencic], except, you know, good'. Bencic at that age was actually much better, but the fact that the comparison stands at all is warning enough.

Great that Katy battled through that one; and that Katie is still in both competitions :D

Katy's R2 is under way on court 2 with Katie following on the same court.

Katy down the early break
1-2*

Yeah, the swiss women have an amazing system in place at the moment, producing a dozen or so real superstar potential players, all from a tiny population. We could learn from them.
Anyway, today, Waltert was much much too good for Ms. Dunne, although Katy did fail to take her chances (2-6 on BP v. the Swiss 7/11)
1-6 2-6
