Pinheiro's a bit of a mystery - she's 28, reached a career high of 1151 way back in 2002 and hasn't scored a ranking point in the last 8 years! How she got a place in qualifying here I really don't know! (*)

Mystery no more,  evidently just ****.   Anyway Anna I'm sure not bothered.   Nice 6 points

Bergot is in complete control

6-3 3-6 0-3*

Laura gets one break back at the first attempt

2*-4

Bergot holds to 30

3*-5

Disappointing but no shock as her opponent is in the form of her life and is arguably playing much better than her current ranking.

It was always going to be a test this back on the 'real' clay. It was her first match on the red stuff this year and played out in cold conditions probably made it an even tougher assignment.
The first set to me was won by Laura because she won all the big points. But at 1-0 in the second having just broken her opponents serve the match turned with Laura being broken to love. From that moment it seemed to be an uphill battle, but I was pleased to see her battle hard in the final set from 4-0 down. Last year dare I say it that would have probably turned into a bagel set. Going on the bare match statistics her second serve became a problem as the match wore on.

On next to the French Open juniors where given the quality of the field a QF or better will be a very good result.

I also think a MDWC at Eastbourne is looking a good bet at the moment. She isn't playing Nottingham this year so that only leaves her with the Liverpool tournament or Eastbourne as preparation for Wimbledon.

Cav has taken the first set 6-1, but a DF at the start of the second gives Chala an early break.
