Under way. Good Luck Laura.
Lets hope Estrella doesn't live up to her name.

First set to Laura 6-2. Both breaks after very long games I think, and held serve from 15-40 to win it.

Courts seem to suit her game pretty well.

Laura broke at the start of the 2nd set but then dropped serve thanks to 3 double faults in the next game.

6-2 1-1*

Score looking OK so far, but already 9 BPs faced, so very misleading perhaps. After 5 service games, 8 DFs and just 33% first serves in play. Only 2 aces. How long have we been talking about Laura's serve being a superb weapon in theory, but she needed to sort out her DF and first serve % issues. 4 years. 3 years. Surely this is straightforward to sort out via coaching, and its hardly related to surface. How much of a boon would that one shot be to her success?

Very comfortable for Laura, but still struggling a bit on her own serve. Agree this is the area where she could improve her game significantly.

Great result Laura! Playing her great friend next. She ought to have too much power for Genie, but its never going to be totally straightforward is it?

Not sure if library pictures were being used, but Genie seemed to have some serious strapping on her knee in the articles about her first round win.
