Come on Jade, turn this around. Shouldn't be losing to the likes of Amiraghyan. Her serving stats have been quite poor these past 2 weeks, lots of double faults which isn't really like her. Wonder if she has been working on some things with Guy and it hasn't quite clicked yet.

Jade is making heavy weather of what still looks like a very decent draw this week

4-6 1-1*

Anna is a break up in the 2nd set v the 2nd seed

1-6 *3-1

Go Anna 4-1 up and chance of another break too now. A win here would take her into the top 500 if my sums are right.

It might be enough (it would be about WR 501 on this week's list thanks to Wimbledon qualifying points helping her in the ranking tiebreaks) but the number of points needed to reach the top 500 has been drifting upwards recently (more tournaments and hence more points to be shared out than last year), so if that continues she might need another win.

Anna has taken the 2nd set 6-3

Jade is now a break up in the 2nd 4-6 4-2*

Jade double faults on set point, but gets another and we are into a decider.

Irrespective of how this turns out, another great effort from Anna today.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Agreed Anna is a great girl and is top300 ability at least. A break up 2-1 final set now. Go Anna
