Yes I hope this run of high level grass tournaments means that Amanda has ambition to really see what she is capable of. She has been nudging slowly upwards for some time, having achieved 7 new career highs this year. It would be good to see her break quickly into the top 300 and then move into the 250 by the year end.

Anne and Tara up next.............would like to have seen this one!

Me too. Having seen both last week, not much to choose between the two, but would have a slight leaning towards Tara, who was a bit steadier.

From the live scores looks like a real ding-dong battle between Anne and Tara smile smile

WD40 · Club Coach

Lucy was broken in the 1st game of the 2cd set but broke straight back, back on serve 2-1*

WD40 · Club Coach

Tara beat Anne 6-4 6-3. Lucy lost 3-6 3-6.

Good win for Tara, slightly tougher fare in the next round against Pliskova(probably). If Pliskova's serve isn't working well then Tara has a great chance.

Slightly better than I'd expected from Lucy.

Tara plays the winner of Doi/Karolina Pliskova. The Czech is a set and a break up.

Emily starts against Keys very soon.

1st set

for Emily

PaulM · Tennis legend

Emily seems to be struggling with the wind. That won't help her game either, will take the sting out of all her funky spins and dinks

Emily lost, but woke up for a creditable second set/
