Excellent win for Maia - one of her two best this year I think, along with the defeat of Alicia Tornado Black in the Bolton TE14 final (Tornado incidentally also beat Fatma en route to a 10K final)

Quick notes on some of the opponents:

Mayr-Achleitner is a former top 70 player (in 2009), who thrashed Sabine Lisicki 1 & 3 in Linz last week, though like the German, she has been quite up and down recently. Still a very tough draw though.

Emily lost to Bowtell 5 & 1 in Bath earlier this year. Amy beat two Brits in straight sets to qualify, so dare we hope her Brit-bashing appetite has been sated for the week? Can't believe she has dropped out of the top 500 again - she clearly hasn't been getting enough Brit fodder recently!

Chakhnashvili hit a career high of 134 in 2007, so I doubt she'll be a pushover for Tara.

Lucy seems to have got a late WC when Samantha got in as a DA. The blueberry's (yes, that what Myrtille means) 255 ranking is her career high.

Samantha and Jade won two doubles titles together last year but don't seem to have met in singles on the ITF Pro Circuit before.

Mitu's 199 ranking is a career high, which she reached on the back of winning a 25K in Sofia last month.

Maia and Lisa up next I believe on live score.

Mens' match first though.

Am I imagining things or did Mayr bear Bally a couple of years ago at Wimbledon? If my memory us right her serve is horrible

6-0 to Maia in the tie-break!

 

With apologies to Lisa, I'd love to see Maia win this one.

Maia was 100/1 to win the tiebreak 7-0 when it started, and she came pretty close to it!

 

7-4 in the end I think?

 

Lisa now a break up in the second set

She beat Anne the year Anne had just broken into the top 100. Anne served for the first set then went into meltdown and burst into tears in the press conference when some hack asked her whether she felt she'd let everyone down.

Shame Tara didn't enter originally and free up a wild card

I watched that match in Linz last week between Mayr-Achleitner & Lisicki, and Steven is right, it was a thrashing. If anything, 1 & 3 flattered Lisicki. She also gave Martic a hard time in R2.
Her serving in both matches seemed solid and pretty effective to me.

Fitzy trailed 5-2, but got it back to 5-5 before losing the first set 7-5. Now 1-2* down in the second.

She just saved 3 MP's to hold

4 - 5*

Can she break now?
