Week 46 - ITF ($10K) - Edgbaston, UK Hard


Voracova has the first 'hold point' of the match, at Adv., but double faults. She does hold though at the second opportunity. *3-4

Harriet responds; manages to save two BP's to get to deuce for the the first time on her serve. Previously she was 0/3 facing BP's. But, still broken from a 3rd BP on the advantage.

3-5*

Harriet breaks again, can she hold to tie it up again? *4-5

Sadly, no. straight to *0-40, saved one set point, but Voracova takes it. 4-6

Just one hold in the set was enough. Harriet broke 4 times, but didn't actually have a point to hold her own serve in any game.

Hopefully just a slight shift in fortune and the second could see it go our girls way though.

First Set to Voracova, 4-6

Set 2
Perhaps ominously, Renata holds to open the second set, *0-1

Harriet earns her first game point on her serve, misses that one, but takes a second. Harriet holds, well done!  

Both girls getting more from their own services now. 1-1*

Backs up that first hold up breaking the former top 100 player again, to love , admirable stuff, keep it going. *2-1

From *40-0, unable to get a first serve in on the next 4 points, Harriet loses them all to face a BP, but saves it (on 2nd serve). She saves two more BP's from deuces 2 & 4. A 4th BP, from deuce 5, is lost though, on a second sedrve, and we're back on serve. Harriet fighting hard though.

I don't have the points won on 2nd serve stat for this match, but for both girls I'd guess it's about 10-15% at most.

2-2*

Voracova holds to love, 2-3* 

Voracova Breaks again, as Harriet struggles again getting 1st serves in, and also DF to concede the game. 2-4*

Voracova holds again, so Harriet must now do the same, *2-5

Unfortunately she can't hold, and Renata takes it.

Well, a great week nevertheless from Harriet and much to look forward to at all levels next year.

From today, more 1st serves in, and more play on her 2nd serve seem to be the order of the day, but that's based solely on the stats of one match.

Showing the game to break her opponent regularly was very encouraging though. Well done overall to Harriet.

GSM Voracova 6-4 6-2
