ooooh no.... please don't lose it Jo! Twice in this set she's given away big leads :(

Eek 0-40 ... still, she nearly lost a virtually won match recently and recovered just in time ... no doubt very nervous though (who wouldn't be!)

Spectator · All-time great

Is it the injury? You don't do as well as she has under pressure and then just collapse ... (I think ....)

Back to 5-5 :( - but she did this in the final qualifying round and went on to win.

Such a shame it all went wrong for Jo at the end, but shouldn't take away from what has been a fantastic tournament for her.

I wonder whether the injury had an impact, such a shame, would have played on a big court next match as well.

wales1994 · County player

This was a reversal of her first round match, this time she led 5-2 :( Really saddened by this result! Hope she isn't injured!

steven · Tennis legend

Hopefully she isn't ... though apparently she 'executed' her racket at the end.

She must be absolutely gutted right now but hopefully when she looks back, she'll be very proud of her 4 wins here. Also, this isn't a particularly big points round, so you could say she won when it mattered most.
