Any ideas what the dressing on Laura's arm is for?

I'm obviously no physio but she was feeling that area last week in her last match, so probably just a minor strain picked up from playing alot last week. Also may be a reason why her serve is not 100%.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Thanks.

It's becoming a major strain to watch now

What a shame. She was so so good for the 1st half of the 1st set.

I can't even watch the LS. I hope she doesn't get bagelled

A bright spot as Laura saves 3 break points to hold!
Still, behind 1-2* in the second set.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Annoyingly Robbo's had more braeak points than AMG, but has taken far less.

Woohoo, but she's taken one now!!!

2 very poor double faults - each second serve about 2-3 feet long! - in the game concedes the break to AMG, and allow her the chance to serve out the match.
Laura 4-5*
