Alannah has break points at 15-40 but sends another forehand long. Some more consistent play from Amanda and she holds.

PockyTastic · Futures level

Alannah has strung a few good shots together, but too often the ball is sailing long or into the bottom of the net.

Amanda *3-0

3 DFs from Amanda helps Alannah get on the scoreboard.

Amanda 3-1* Alannah

Alannah tries to chase down a big forehand from Amanda, but her scrambled shot flies wide and that's the 1st set over.

Amanda 6-1 Alannah

PockyTastic · Futures level

Alannah starts set 2 positively

FH return winner 0-15
DF from Amanda 0-30
Slice into the net 0-40
Error from Alannah 15-40
Forced error from Amanda - Game Griffin

PockyTastic · Futures level

Alannah is not handling the slices from Amanda and it's 3 BPs for Carreras

Some lovely winners from Alannah. When is able to stand in the middle of the court and boss the point she is doing well, but when Amanda moves her around or mixes the spin she starts to make errors. Amanda is not just hacking the ball and waiting for errors, she's aggressive off of her forehand and forcing a lot of errors too.

What looked like it was going to be an easy hold for Alannah has ended in her getting broken. She was in command on the final point, but a short chipped defensive shot from Amanda drew a forehand error.

Amanda 6-1 3-1 Alannah

Amanda's serve seems to be her main weakness. She's hit a fair few DFs - her small stature is probably to blame for this.

Some steadier play from Griffin gives her chances to break back, but Amanda fights hard and holds.

Amanda 6-1 5-2* Alannah
