Sarah completes a good day for the Brits here winning 0-6 6-4 [10-4] if the scoreboard iss to be believed

wolf · Tennis legend

Sarah and Courntey came back to win 0-6, 6-4, 10-4. biggrin

Great win over a current top 100 singles and doubles player and someone who has been top 100 in doubles and is now just outside.

So a 10:00am UK start on center court for Anne if anyone is around to watch her on the live stream.

R2: KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) 80 v KUTUZOVA, Viktoria (UKR) Q 155

Also Sarah and Courtney are 4th on court 2 and Anne and Kelly are 5th on the same court.

QF: Sarah Borwell (GBR) / Courtney Nagle (USA) v (1) Mariya Koryttseva (UKR) / Yaroslava Shvedova (KAZ)
QF: Anne Keothavong (GBR) / Kelly Anderson (RSA) v (3) Andrea Hlavackova (CZE) / Barbora Zahlavova Strycova (CZE)

This win means that Anne has defended the last of her points from 2007 which count within her top 17, so a top 80 finish to the year is fairly secure already.

Kutuzova 2-1* Anne. Missed 2bps in that last game.

The Hoose · Satellite level

She saved a bp in the last game to level at 2-2. Serve's looking a bit dodgy at the moment but she's doing fine from the back of the court.

The Hoose · Satellite level

Kutuzova holds to 30 with relative comfort. Anne trails *2-3

The Hoose · Satellite level

Anne holds to 30 for 3-3. Her opponent's less consistent than her, but is causing a few problems.

The Hoose · Satellite level

A double fault hands Anne two break points. And a wayward shot from her opponent hands her the break. *4-3.

James · Satellite level

Very steady play from Anne, he opponent has produced a few flashy forehands but hasn't been able to sustain a high level for consecutive points

Anne *30-30

The Hoose · Satellite level

After falling to 15-30, three big first serves get Anne out of trouble and she holds for 5-3.

The Hoose · Satellite level

Some good, deep returns from Anne and some sloppy play from her opponent result in AK breaking to take the set 6-3. Should be plain sailing from here...

Anne 6-3, 2-1*, saving a few bps on that last game. It's amazing how her serve has come on in the last year.

Anne holds from 0-30 down for 4-3*.
