Can't claim I've been following the live score religiously, but Liz makes Kozawa serve out the first set:
Liz 4-5*

Liz 4-6 *1-1

Time to check up on Kozowa, I think...

Hmm, bit of a dark horse. Coming up on 22, but only started playing grown-up ITFs last summer. Only two or three junior ITFs three years back. Possibly finished her education before giving full time tennis a try? Appears to be her first competitve match outside Japan.

Ooh, I love inventing life stories based on a handful of numbers at itftennis.com.

p.s. also, did you know she has zero presence on Google? None. Oh. Let's try spelling her name Peter Too's way instead of mine.

L32: Emily Webley-Smith WR 430 v (Q) Qualifier
L32: (8) Anna Smith WR 348 v Ekaterina Gorgodze (GEO) WR 553

Not a great draw, in the sense that the winners of these two matches will play each other in R2, with the winner of that match likely to face the no. 1 seed Iryna Kuryanovich (BLR) WR 225 in the QFs, since her section consists of her v Q and WC v WC.

I'm hoping for Anna to take at least one 10k title in the next few weeks...tho Kuryanovich beat her 2 an 4 in Minsk in November.

Solid performance by Anna but not many points on the table it being a 10k.
