Interesting idea about the heat. Laura is quite pale skinned, not Anna Smith levels, but still, it might well be a factor.
She worked hard in the second set though. Laura got back to *2-3, conceded another break, 2-4*, responded with her own break, *3-4 then had 3 or 4 points to level it up, but was eventually broken again. 3-5*
R2: Laura DEIGMAN (GBR) 859 [8] lost to (Q) Barbora STEFKOVA (CZE) 1060 5-7 3-6

Laura was well ahead on points, and served for the first set at *5-4 but was broken, and has gone on to lose 6 straight games, whilst barely winning a single point Strange turn around. 5-7 *0-3

It's 37-39 degrees today in Egypt, depending on which weather report you use, and now just before midday. Not sure whay anyone would choose to play in Egypt in June....but it wouldnt surprise me if Laura is wilting, given this is her first tournament on this trip...
