Naomi lost 4 & 4 bleh

Btw, after Naomi lost to a former top 100 player now languishing way below her in the rankings, Anna has a similar potential banana skin in the FQR - although Klapkova is only ranked 881 now, she was ranked as high as 107 in 2006.

FQR: (q4) Anna Smith WR 300 beat Katerina Klapkova (CZE) WR 881 by 2 & 3

... and switching to today's rankings for the main draw:

L32: (Q) Anna Smith WR 306 v Liana-Gabriela Ungur (ROU) WR 160

This doesn't look the nicest of draws until you remember that Anna has a 4-0 H2H against the Romanian, all in straight sets and all on indoor hard (all in the UK, in fact), the last 3 during her hot streak at the start of this year. So, she's got a great chance, but equally it could be a big blow to her confidence if she doesn't manage to beat someone she has had such a hold over. Quite a crunch match then, with 12 more points at stake too.

Danjn · Lower Club Player

For the record Anne's opponent in R1 is Putintseva:

(Q) Yulia PUTINTSEVA (RUS) 994 Vs Anne KEOTHAVONG (GBR) 125

Smidster · Challenger level

Both Anne and Anna should be starting around now. They will then play doubles after rest.

Have you still got a link for this. I've found another site which suggest Anne lost the first set 6-0 (sounds unlikely), and is 4-5 in the second.

SMC1809 · All-time great

This site shows Anne now at 6-6 in the 2nd set.

Now showing Anne lost 6-0 7-6.

Anne losing the first 6-0 to WR994? I do hope not!

PaulM · Tennis legend

Anne was first up at 9.30 our time, so can't believe she was on court for 2 hours to lose 0 and 6?

Anna :(
