My goodness, what a wowzer win !

It was a long game and I counted three aces in the game (and one - maybe two - double faults)

Thrilled for the girl !!!!!

I know that Mr Allen (Vicki's dad) only booked rooms for two nights when he went to Surbiton - didn't think his daughter would be there that long

Hope he's not going to get kicked out his time and can extend the booking.

Meanwhile, nice to see Holly H making a match of it in the second set.

SHe lost the first 1-6 but it's 4-3 on serve in the second.

Chang is not brilliant on grass and not got a lot of confidence at the moment (lost to EWS).

HH just had a BP but was saved. Big contrast in sets so far. It's all going on here - Swan back in business in Nott'm, Manc qualies and Riske taking on Perrin in Surbiton. Hard to keep up.

Well congrats to both Eden Richardson for her 6-2 6-0 win, and that amazing result from Victoria Allen - not many players can boast having beaten the WR 323 to win their first ranking point!

Eden had a ranking previously, but this is her first current point.

I'm sure Vicki had ranking points before. She made the semis in some really unlikely run in Britain somewhere a couple of years back - others more knowing than me will set it right.

Yes, you're right CD, have just looked. She reached a 10k SF in Nottingham in 2016, beating Gemma Heath in the QF and then losing to Eden in the SF.

Does that make three counters now for Summer? I know she has the QF from Helsinki. Or is that now just two?

It's just the two, she still needs one more.

EWS won first set 6-2 but 0-2 down in second set.

Thanks. At least she's got two quite close together so she's got a while to get the third.

Also, go little Holly Staff ! She's born 2002, so a 'tiddler'. She's playing that American Mueller, who got thrashed by Neel at Surbiton who was herself playing pretty poorly, I thought. So go Holly, enjoy, nothing to lose.
