Mel 6-2 0-0*

So far so good, Mel lost her service once but broke 3 times. Kristie has not yet won a point on her 2nd serve.

Well done to Mel for getting back on track. Tonight's match (probably around 10-11pm BST) will be very tough though. Oudin has managed the tradition from top junior outside Grand Slams to top 100 WTA very smoothly, beating Jelena Jankovic amongst others.

The two Mel's fight it out with Oudin the clear favourite but you never know.

Krajicek has just finished her match so Mel should be on soon.

Mel's serve is not the weapon it used to be. Is the shoulder injury the explanation ?

I don't know whether her shoulder injury is affecting her serve, as she wasn't serving many aces during the grasscourt season as I remember - but getting less than 40% of first serves in, like Bally yesterday, doesn't help.

Digging in but can't take the BP chances.

Has she not had the shoulder niggle since the spring when she took time out to improve her fitness.
