Sigh. Tiebreak time.

Laura has now overtaken Hrdinova with 22 DF to 18
and 22 UErr to 18
5 Aces to 15

mini break down in TB

That is really tough 6-7 6-4 6-7
I guess experience told in the end


Bally is a break up at 4-2*

Great fightback from 3-0 down in the second, but having been 4-0 up in the final set and having served for it at 6-5, it's a match she definately should have won (having also served for set 1 and had a set point on serve in the tiebreak)

Maybe experience told in the end, but not good to lose from the position that she did, and that serve appears to have completely gone in the final serve, with her serving 13 double faults (so giving away 2 points a game on serve), and looks like it will need some work.

A great chance to qualify for the main draw here for her which has slipped away, but I guess she'll learn from it and know what she has to do next time.

Hopefully Elena can go on an qualify though.

Aww, real pity for Laura after being 2 breaks up at 4-1 in the final set.

Just looking in on and off at the live scores it does look as if quite a lot of double faults crept in to her game near the end ( as was suggested I am sure she was behind in that earlier on ) and experience seems to have won through.

Still, she fully justified her WC by getting so close to a main draw place and I alrady see signs that she is simeone who learns from experiences and set-backs and continues building for the future ( reminds me of someone    )


Now, c'mon Bally 

Ah, I saw it was 4-1, hadn't realised it 4-0 and 30-0.

Final stats are :

	Match Summary
			Hrdinova(CZE)		Robson(GBR)
	1st Serve %	65 of 137 = 47 %	70 of 128 = 55 %
	Aces	15	5
	Double Faults	19	22
	Winning % on 1st Serve	43 of 65 = 66 %	48 of 70 = 69 %
	Winning % on 2nd Serve	30 of 72 = 42 %	24 of 58 = 41 %

	Break Point Conversions	6 of 16 = 38 %	6 of 12 = 50 %
	Total Points Won	129	136

So Laura did still win more points overall by overall winning some of his her service games easier than her opponent.

Yes, I haven't seen her since Wimbledon, but she does lack slice on second service and that can't help when she gets nervous.  I am sure that is something she should be able to develop and indeed her serve is a potential weapon in the long run, especially as she physically develops more. 

Phew, Bally finally got the first set 6-4 after a lot of deuces.
