Katie only winning 27% being 2nd serve, 65% on first I think. Has served 2 aces though!

She got there in the end after the usual Katie-choke. Hope she can keep this up in the third set as she's got a great chance of getting the win now.

Phew, she holds for 6-5*, good work. She may be frustrating, but this match is a lot better to watch than Mel's!
That's all true, this one is good to watch. As Virginia Wade says, she never stops fighting but she does have all kinds of ways of making it difficult for herself!

Another one...taken for 0-1*. Oh Katie. Wish she's start slicing the backhand or at least not flailing at it.

Shes lost. I know overseas players can lose from winning positions but we do it so well and so often and so many players that do it.

Score was 6-2, 5-7, 6-4.

Benesova stepped it up in the final two games and Katie just couldn't live with it.

Anne is on freeview channel 301 now and has traded breaks at the start of the match. 1-1*

I thought Katie was a goner when she was broken back in the second set, so I'm impressed that she managed to keep it together to take that set. She played pretty well, some nice returns and ground strokes - a lot closer than I expected, but a shame that she couldn't win it. Iveta is a classy player so I guess it was to be expected.

Does anyone know if Katie sees a sports psychologist? If the psychological aspect of her game is holding her back, then that is an obvious solution - Anne (according to Ace Magazine) credits her run up the ranking to her work with one.

Shame for Katie to lose after getting close, but having been a break up in the final set, she really should have gone on to get the win.

Anne seems to have started nicely and is a break up, but then, she shouldn't be having too many problems given who she has drawn. Given that she is our best female hope, it's perhaps a bit of a shame she got the easiest draw to try and get another Brit through.

Georgie just played the shot of the championships - forehand winner from way of the court right in the corner.

Georgie 3-2*
