Laura 2-6 *3-3 Pimkina
Out of nowhere Laura gets a couple of BPs which are saved quickly enough. 2 more BPs come and go before the Russian holds on her first GP

Heather 5-7 1-1* Radovanovic
hold to 30

Aeneas · Lower Club Player

Laura 2-6 4-3* Pimkina
A much needed hold to love from Laura to keep a little pressure on Pimkina.

Heather 5-7 *1-2 Radovanovic
Watson fights back from 40-0 down to force a BP. The French girl holds anyway.

Aeneas · Lower Club Player

Laura 2-6 *5-3 Pimkina
The Brit gets another 2 BPs and FINALLY breaks!

Heather 5-7 1-3* Radovanovic
As Laura breaks through Watson crumbles and is broken to 15.

Ta for the updates Aeneas....cmon Girls !!!

Aeneas · Lower Club Player

Laura 2-6 6-3 Pimkina
Another easy hold and Robson appears to have found her range. 1 set all.

Heather 5-7 *2-3 Radovanovic
Watson certainly has some spirit and is getting opportunities in return games. 2 more BPs appear, the first disappears quickly but the second stays on the board for what seems like an age...and then we're back on serve! :)

Laura 2-6 6-3 *0-1 Pimkina
'Robbo' saves the first 2 GPs from 40-0 down but can't prevent the Russian holding the first game of the set.

Heather 5-7 2-4* Radovanovic
Oh dear. Watson immediately surrenders the momentum by dropping serve again to 30.

Unfortunately that's as far as I go. I'm off to play snooker so anyone that wants updates will have to look on tenisforum. Good luck girls!

Laura wins 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.

The Hoose · Satellite level

Heather lost 5-7 4-6

Well done, Laura!

Good comeback from Laura but a little worrying that she got taken to 3 sets again by a limited opponent.

Nevertheless, with (2) Ana Bogdan, #256 (12) Rogowska and Junior Wimbledon finalist (5) Lertcheewakern all losing today and (4) Babos scraping through alongside Junior AO Champion and #156 (3) Pervak locked at 6-6 in the third, she can count herself lucky she's had easier progress than some of her rivals.

I'm back in time to do the scores for her doubles match that'll be starting soon. smile

EDIT: Only just noticed in time but at least some good news for Steph in the doubles;
Cornish/Ormaechea d. Cepelova/Juhaszova 7-6(4), 0-6, 10-8
