Katie won a game :)

Second set: 1-0 with a hold to 15

1-1 Hold to love

1-2 Broken again

1-3 hold to 30

1-4 something just isn't right here

2-4 A break back :)

2-5 And there it goes again

3-5 Katie breaks to 30. Id forgotten how bizarre KO'Bs matches could be!

3-6 Broken to Deuce. I dont quite know what to say about that match. :(

From the stats it looks like she just has no power....... maybe injured or unwell ?

Another great looking win for Heather. Great to see her off the blocks sooo well in 2011 smile

Now a fellow qualifier to meet in Round 1

Bit of a strange one from Katie, though losing the first set on points 30 - 17 she was clearly getting to 30 or more in every game with quite a few deuces overall and just one game to 15, and she did have one BP so the 6 - 0 score there is rather unkind and suggesting that she was being more overwhelmed than she really was. Still not great, so be interesting to see what she may have to say about it.

Hopefully Heather, Anne and Laura can push each other on in the next few weeks in their quest to be picked number two for the Fed Cup.

The players in the match before Anne have taken 40 minutes to play 8 games.
