After a long service game of her own, and a good hold in the end, Anne breaks immediately the next game to go ahead *3-2

NB: I don't have a feed, but bet365 and Bwin are purportedly covering it if you create an account with them and put a token monetary amount into it.

Erakovic with her foot on the accelerator now, breaks Annes first serve of Set 2, 0-2*
Anne serving at 46% and only winning one third of the total points played.

It's done, the bagel is cooked.
An abject set from Anne, in which she won just 14 points.

5 straight breaks against her and a dis-spiriting loss 4-6 0-6.

She was competitive in the first set, and had opportunities.

Overall I think she'll want to forget this Stateside trip as quickly as possible.

Lets hope she recharges for the Olympics.

Heather's singles in about ½ hour.

Heather on court, with a good start, breaks immediately, *1-0

Can't find a stream for this one either, other than Bet365, Bwin & Unibet. (By choice, I have no credit cards so can't use them!)

I don't think there is even one on Bet365, at least I can't find it ?

Ah, thanks Wolf.

Yes, sorry, I was mistaken. They are linking to the Vania King match on the other court.

Light winds should help Annie K here, just about to start.

An excellent win in straight sets! 6-4 7-5

The second went the way of the first - two breaks to one, but this time Heather & Janette came from a break down.

Grandin & Uhlirova are pure doubles specialists these days, ranked 24 & 23 respectively. So, another impressive scalp for Heather, and an excellent days work overall.

They next play Anne's doubles conquerors from Monday, Chang (172) & Lertcheewakarn (149) - a very winnable match then. If they do win, that's another 200 doubles points that would put Heather about 70th in singles and doubles.

Well done again Heather!

The break is lost after a couple of deuces, 4-4*

Erakovic takes the first set 4-6
Anne had *40-15 on her serve, but couldn't close it out.
Erakovic took her second break point of the game to earn consecutive breaks of Anne's serve.

Oh dear! 4 consecutive breaks against poor Anne.
Quite glad I can't find a stream now!

0-4*

Very competitive in the first set, double faults killed her there. Second set.........................................

Haven't said this before, but I now kinda wish Hev and Laura were our singles reps at the Olympics now, especially as Anne and Bally have got into the dubs.

Was always going to be a tough match but disappointing how she fall away at the end.

At least Anne will have plenty of grass court practice ahead of the Olympics now.

I really feel that Annie is just going through the motions. To be leaving the states with 2 ranking points is very very poor
