Good to see Katie coming through strongly in the end; really hope she can make at least another win, as I can't see Bally winning twice here, and would be a big boost for top-100 aspirations. To be fair, she hasn't choked much this year so far, and anyone can lose a few games on the trot. Shame for Georgie, but she does seem always to be 'in' matches, and to keep pushing; let's hope she can realise her potential on the grass.

And she breaks immediately

1*-0

4*-1

If Bally can come through this it will be Vongsouthi in next round who won 6-2 6-4

6-2 Bally

Just got to work here in u, s and a and nice to see Bally rolling, keep it up!

Fantastic! Actually didn't realise it was Vongsouthi next, you'd hope Bally should take that one. Tbh, 2 Brit women in FQR would be a good achievement - and points-wise anything more now is a bonus - does anyone know the last time a GB girl came through qualies here?

For Bally, Shvedova in FQR would be tough - she's pushed Pennetta to 3 on clay (her favourite surface) this year, beat Stosur and Vaidisova aswell in Rome, and also forced Azarenka to a third at Indian Wells. However, she lost heavily to Rezai at Tourhout (0 and 2), who Katie gave a good match in 3, so you never know.

I think Katie will be OK against Fujiwara; Anne beat Rus fairly easily in Fed Cup, but she's had excellent clay results, including beating Fujiwara and Georgie's friend Martic in straights. Schruff won the $50k in Latina on clay (beating Brianti & Petkovic), and has also beaten Martic in 3 this year. Both would be very tough for Katie on clay, but you never know - though I think she'll have to have her head screwed on a bit better and cut down those doubles.
