That's a nice surprise after seeing the Shrewsbury tweet "Lauren lost the 1st set but has held serve in the 2nd" - I assumed it was a diplomatic way of saying she'd been bagelled in the 1st!

Mel has started well. Excellent run to pick up a drop shot (let's hear it for those fitness blocks) and some great deep hitting. Bit early yet (2-2) but good tennis.
Mel down a set and a break, but actually playing well. Forcing a high level out of her opponent

Beth and Katie both went on to lose in straight sets, but took 6 games each off top seed Feuerstein & former top 60 player Coin respectively, which seems more than respectable under the circumstances.
