That was tight! It looked for most of the set like a fighting but ultimately doomed set, but she fought through! Well done Johanna.

Match suspended due to HEAT!

That training fitness block has meant that Jo maybe a bit rusty to start off with, but now firmly into the match and in the brutal heat being the more aggressive player maybe telling in the final set.

The match appears to have started again?!

Jo leads *4-2 but has faced 11 break points in the 3rd set alone, saving 10 of them. They've played 84 points in this set so far and haven't finished 7 games yet - I make that over 20 deuces in nearly 7 games. Given the conditions. that must be brutal!

Long break now at BP down 4-2, bit concerned Jo might have a problem, been brutal this match.

Now 8 minutes elapsed and no change in the score.

What a crazy set - Jo has faced 14 bps now, saving 12 (22 saving 16 in the match as a whole) and had 2 re-break points on Sema's serve but the 2nd seed holds on for 4-4. I hope it's not going to slip away now - the effort that must have gone into the last 2 sets ...
