The Knight · Challenger qualifying

her opponent is 6'3 and listed at 81kg - only 1 kg lighter than Del Potro!!!!! Explains the 7 Aces

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Hopefully she can recover from losing that set which she should have won having served for it and also had a set point on her serve.

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Shame - looking at the stats it would seem that Laura should have won that first set, she just couldnt convert the break points though. 1 of 4

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

She shouldve won, first real dissapointment during the qualies to date....

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

Play has been suspended by very light rain and if they don't get back out shortly that'll be it for the day as there is some much heavier rain tracking up from the south. Could be a blessing in disguise as the momentum was all with the Czech girl and it would have been a difficult ask for a 15 year old girl to come back and win 2 sets making it a long match of possibly 3 hours. Now it will be broken up , time to chat with her coach and get herself mentally retuned.

Back tomorrow at 2pm local time weather permitting. I suspect the late start is due to the fact the bad weather is forecast not to clear away until the afternoon.
