Oh dear, that was all getting a bit too straightforward for our beloved Katie (beloved in much the same sense as the average French fan must love Dammit Gasquet ...) - McHale held to get on the board in the 2nd set and has now broken - 3-6 5-2*

Not to worry though, she breaks to 15 to take the 2nd set smile.gif with a 100% 1st serve % - my guess is that the 1st serve % is erroneously counting only dfs as missed 1st serves.

3-6 6-2 *0-0

Well done girls.

Hopefully a lift for Katie. Prob won't beat kraijeck but stops the rot and a solid 20 points badly needed

Good to get the wins, particularly for Katie.  FQRs look harder though.

FQR :   q2  Elena BALTACHA  WR 62    v   q14  Yung- jan CHAN ( TPE )  WR 94

FQR :   q17  Katie O'Brien  WR 103   v   Michaella KRAJICEK ( NED )  WR 131

Re OoP, at least they don't have them on at 10 am and should play somewhat earlier than yesterday.

Bally 4th on Court 5  ( play starts at 10am with 2nd match not before noon and 3rd match not before 1.30 pm local time )

Katie 5th on Court 7 ( again play starts at 10 am with 2nd match not before noon and 3rd match not before 1.30 pm local time )

Local time is 4 hours behind us, so do your own guesstimates if you want to follow these  smile

A huge win for Katie given her recent slump in form. Clearly something clicked at the end of that first set which appears to have put her back to a higher playing level.
She will have to improve again to beat Krajicek who is playing better than last year but I would be disappointed if it is not at least a tight match.

As for Bally I expected nothing less. On her form this year she should beat Chan but I am not as confident for this match as I have been about her other matches this year.

Well done katie. 3 sets vs McHale isn't exactly great but she rebounded well. Good luck in the FQR!

Relieved that Katie has broken her losing streak. The match before Bally (Rodionova v De Los Rios) has just split sets, so it will probably be about an hour before Bally starts.

Match before Bally has just finished so shouldn't be too long. Also match before KOB's is coming to the end of the first set.
