Her opponent is extremely noisy

But not on every rally. Every so often she throws in a completely silent series of shots (and I'm not talking about slices or drop shots) - what a good sport!

eg 30-15 down on Ms Drew's serve in the first game of set 3, and again the next 2 points until she broke Ms Drew's serve. Absolutely church mouse-like. Gamesmanship. Not suggesting that caused Ms Drew to drop her serve, but if she felt it didnlt upset her opponents from time to time, she wouldn't swicth on and off her shrieking.

Just checking : Does Lauren (and the other qualifiers) get 1 pt for qualifiyng and 1 pt for a first round loss (if they lose) ? i.e. a guaranteed 2 points ?

 

PS If her previous ranking was only for 3 weeks, maybe she never even noticed or knew about it ? Not even joking (!) - it's possible (I've seen dafter things . . . )

Thanks steven.

The main draw is out (with the Q v Q easy-pointer match not involving British players!).

Jess Ren is there as a LL.

Whilst Lauren McMinn has just started her match against the Swede.

steven's tweet is causing a twitter sensation (well, it's got various congrats including Sean Thornley who describes it, rightly, as world class). So as he's probably too bashful, I thought it really should go on here too:


Steven ‏@GBtennis 1h

No surprise that rearranging the letters in Jessica Ren gives "J Isner aces" RT @jessren94: Served a game of aces today #omg #bucketlist


Inspired stuff, steven. Can anyone follow that ?

LOL no response from Jess herself though - at a guess, she's not talking to me because I called her "Jessica" and she's not too keen on her full first name. biggrin (that could of course be completely wrong, I hasten to add!)

I'd managed :

Dan Evans - Send a van

Dave Rice - Ace diver

but that was in two minutes and a bit uninspired . . .


In Shrewsbury, Rona has the slight upper hand in the third set.

Lauren has taken the first set against the WR 694 !!!

(The Japanese UNR Miyazaki beat the South African Le Roux WR 677 by 6-1 6-3, so it can be done . . .. )

Lauren has taken the opening set against 6-3 suprisingly. I hope she come through, she had a nice, but slightly inconsistent game and a win would give her a ranking (i believe).

Rona on 7/23 BP converted.
Jessica on 7/17.

Rona had lots of points to be in a convincing third set lead but now serving to stay in the match. 4*-5 to Jess

 Yeah, thanks. Hadn't seen that on the list.

 

Just watched the last couple of games.

 

Brilliant result for Lauren, winning 6-3 6-1 against the WR 694 from Sweden. And played well too.

 My mistake - 2 courts are available. Usual list on livescorehunter - tennis - live streaming
