Nicola Slater on gbtennisgirls:

"end of [first set] called trainer, she said i should stop....wasnt letting logar through easy though, kept playing with a pulled stomach, just about reduced to an underarm serve....so if anyone is wondering why that scoreline.....there's the answer. really upset and disappointed to go out like that."

"felt it 2 days ago,adrenaline was gettin me through.warmin up i felt it was getting bad.2nd game i strained it,last game of set completely pulled it.my reason for continuing ...1.im missing el paso anyway coz of this,iv played through worse n figured rehab wont take long anyway and 2.this girl DOES NOT deserve easy passage into final,i wasnt giving it to her. she is 10x worse than any player i have ever seen with regards to yelling,rudeness and sportsmanship. and lastly i still thought even with underarm serve, i could win."
