Amanda a break down already. Shame about the performances of the British women this week around Europe as they have all been performing well but when the spotlight has come on them they all seemed to of crumbled.

Amanda is pulling back from 1-5 to 4-5* and has a break point.. oh back to deuce but good fighting

Amanda leads 6-5

I had certainly given up on her 15mins ago

You're a harsh bunch. I expect Tara was out of gas by the end of her 2hrs 30min contest. A certain A. Murray couldn't last 2 hrs when he first started competing on tour. Match after match was decided by his lack of fitness.

I think with the exception of Naomi B and Anna F (who have the talent to beat their opponents on grass yet managed to implode), everyone else has done well.

Amanda won the first set tiebreak 7-0

Amanda breaks at start of 2nd

Now two breaks up in the 2nd, it's beginning to look hopeful.

I did only say "beginning".
