Two excellent results providing that rare situation of 2 Brits in the second round of singles and doubles in a Tour event.

I expected Anne to win, but Katie's is a pleasant bonus, and arguably one of the best wins of her career given opponent and surface. Mentioning surface Anne's comments may have some relevance though: "Got the win in 3 ugly sets today. The wind blew most of the clay off the court, wasn't sure what surface I was playing on in the end!"

Playing and winning doubles yesterday may have helped Katie get used to the conditions - certainly her service stats are extraordinarily good by her normal standards.

Katie about to start. Live score link here:

A double-fault gives katie her 4th break point of the game, but she's unable to convert. *0-5

Fortunately Katie has just won her first game of the match!

and broken to love

Katie has now held serve to bring it to 3-3. An important game, which I am hoping will have increased her confidence!

4-4 and back on serve. She saved 2 bps but not the 3rd. Her 2nd df of the game cost her.
