Elena got match point at 6-5 only to see it saved but immediately forced another and this time took it.

Great for Bally to tough out the win after struggling with cramps.

It was a match she should have won and one she needed to to stay in the top 100.

Kohli is 6-1 3-2* in the match before Katie's, so could be a while yet.

Nice one Bally - 13 aces from Parmentier is pretty impressive, so good work. A Katie win would make me very happy indeed now! Really hope she can pull it off. Raining now though so may be some time...

Good stuff Bally - Albeit a game she should be winning if she wants to be top 100.

Bondarenko next - if you have to play a seed she is probably one of the ones you would prefer - Has only been past 2nd round of majors in 3 out of 13 events..

Good for bally - needed, as this is the type of match that has to be won to stay in the top 100, and is about the nicest GS first round draw possible. But fair play, it was still realistically a 60% chance of winning and she did.

I might just have to say BOOYA to that. It's the only word that sums that win up quite neatly happy.gif
