Laura took the 1st set 7-6(2)

Lucy is putting up a really good fight against 7th seed Pirazhenka - she lost the 1st set 7-5 but is *4-2 up in the 2nd

D'oh! lots of breaks all of a sudden after they'd been quite reliable on serve earlier in the match.

9/12 games in the 1st set were service holds (Lucy went *1-3 down, broke back when Pirazhenka served for the set but then got broken again immediately) then the 2nd set started off with 5 holds followed by 5 breaks!

A marathon final game (no, really, it went on for ages with more deuces than I could count and lasted nearly as long as the rest of the set!) but Laura completed the 2nd set bagel in the end to beat the 14-year-old 7-6(2) 6-0

Lucy upsets Bournemouth runner-up and 7th seed Pirazhenka 5-7 6-4 6-1 biggrin & gets a decent 'reward' - a R2 match against unranked Aussie qualifier Leah Daw, who got through against Njiric by retirement.

Great to see Lucy get back to winning form and Laura winning as well.

It's been a good day for the girls with Mel and Manisha picking up wins as well
