Impressive win from Anne, who won all 7 break points she played (taking 2/2 and saving 5/5)

In the (largely irrelevant but quite fun) battle for GB no. 4 next Monday, it is now tighter than ever:

291 Tara
289 Anne
286 Bally

Anne saved two set points at *4-5 15-40

Solid win , hopefully the foot isn't feeling too bad this week.

L32: Anne Keothavong WR 209 beat (WC) Séverine Beltrame (FRA) WR 241 (CH 34 in 2007) by 6-2 7-6(3)

L16: Anne Keothavong WR 209 v Alberta Brianti (ITA) WR 232 (CH 55 in 2011)

Brianti easily beat 6th-seeded compatriot Camerin today, 3 & 2. Anne leads the H2H 3-1. Their first meeting was their only previous meeting in a 50K, the Barnstaple 2008 Final. Their last two meeting were in 2011, both in WTAs, Brianti winning at the Citi Open and Anne in Cincy. None of the 4 matches has gone to a 3rd set.

Well Done Anne.

Healthy and in good form i'd expect her to ebat Brianti but who knows these days

QF: Anne Keothavong WR 209 vs. Akgul Amanmuradova (UZB) WR 142 (CH: 50 05/2008)

Impressive, and long may it continue. Tough match player up next though.

Good start by Anne 2-0*

paulisi · Tennis legend

Even better now 5-1*

paulisi · Tennis legend

Anne is moving closer to that GB no.4 slot - taken the first set 6-2 and a break up in the second set 2-0*

steven · Tennis legend

Anne is about to serve for the match at 6-2 *5-2 - very impressive stats again today!

RainDelay · Pro player

Anne hasn't been broken in 2 matches, her serve must be working well.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Well done Anne (won by a desmond)- good to see a couple of impressive results on the bounce. No reason why she cannot go on this week, the field doesn't look particularly strong.

Apart from her next opponent who has been playing well this year.........
