- seems Tara should haver taken it 6-3, but made too many silly errors.  She also had  some stomach problem.....

Great day in wrexham again today.

I have to say i'm very impressed by Tara Moore. It may be because she was just a class or two above Lucy but she is going to be a great player. Well she already is. Her main weakness i saw was she sometimes goes for too much, but if it makes a her a better player in the end, i'm all for it. If a rally ever went over 6/7 strokes Tara would just whack a winner.

Anna Smith was in good form, some great rallies in this match but windley was too erratic today. For someone so small she gives the ball a hefty wack.

Olivia didn't seem to be playing that well, she started swearing in welsh at one point whic i found funny.

Iyer is not that good. The 1st decent person to come up against her will beat her. Howlett seemed a little erratic today. The match was on the furthesy court so i didn't have a great view of it.

Emily didn't seem happy she kept shouting stuff from her court.

Yasmin was 2-1 up when i left but i think she may loose that. She has a strange game. Nice serve but not much power, she plays a little like Emily in that she mixes up the pace of her shots but can go for winners. She was being overpowered a little today.

I kept dipping in and out of Bone/Thomas. Liz didn't seem in top form and Julia was solid, she had a little argy bargy with the umpire early in the second set but she composed herself.
I'm glad Katerina Brown turned the match around she is a better player than Vickers but seemed to be doin too many errors.

i was there for a bit also how wierd. lucy warburton was awful in the first set and played alright in the second anna smith will kill tara moore though i dont think she stands a chance, i saw a bit of olivia howlett i thought she seemed very annoyed and really needs to tackle those frustrations.
broady getting tough draws hope doesnt down her confidence
i didnt see julia thomas but good for bone to get that win as thomas is on such good form
good luck everyone in the second round

QF line up

Clerico/Verardi (ITA) (1) vs Bone Scarfi

Du Plessis/Marshall vs Brown/Iyer (4)

Yasmin/Dillon vs Broady/Webley-Smith (2)

ok just was there at the comp and smith was winining at first and was being beaten as i was leaving i think tara moore won. if so that is a super win!!!!

smith got first 60 then tara won second 75 and then tara was leading
