Hev 4-5*, Czink serving for the 1st set, and Emily looked all set to take Stephens into a tiebreak (had points for it) but got broken at the last moment 5-7

- She only got 38% 1st serves in during that set.

steven · Tennis legend

Hev breaks for *5-5

steven · Tennis legend

Czink rebroke immediately but Hev then broke her again and went *3-0 up in the tiebreak but is now then lost 7 of the next 8 points (ouch!)

Emily broken at the start of the 2nd, has just had a point to break back after a Stephens df but it was saved

Hev an early break up in the 2nd 6-7(4) *1-0

Emily did eventually break back in that game, now 5-7 *3-4

steven · Tennis legend

... but Stephens breaks again (a much better 1st serve % around 60 in this set doesn't seem to be helping much) and is serving for the match

while Hev has been broken straight back

steven · Tennis legend

Emily broke back as Stephens served for it

and is now 5-7 5-5*

Hev now 6-7(4) *1-2

Spectator · All-time great

Nice work by Ms Webley-Smith. Very competitive, despite the gap in rankings. Upwards and onwards.

Hev got broken for the match, Czink winning 7-6(4) 6-4

Not a good start to the day. At least we'll have a British winner in the next match...
