4 consecutive breaks to start Izzy's match.
*2-2

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

A hold and another break gives Izzy a lead.
*4-2

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Izzy serves out the set to love, to cap a solid set.
6-3

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Izzy having trouble serving,with more than a DF per service game.
In a reversal of the first set, this time it's Izzy that can't hold as Fett manages to.
6-3 0-4*

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Bagel avoided
6-3 1-5*

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

All square.
6-3 1-6

Actually seeming pretty even after two sets across most stats.
Can Izzy wrestle back the momentum? Where will the pendulum swing in the decider?

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Izzy not alone in DF trouble as Nadal serves 3 DF in one service game!

All to do here though,as the Croatian opens up a clear lead.
6-3 1-6 *0-2

No shortage of pressure on Fetts serve from Izzy, but she is under even more on her own.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Fett secures a second break in the set.
Tough task now.
6-3 1-6 1-4*

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Sadly Izzy could never establish her serve and bows out.

6-3 1-6 1-6

No 12-10 heroics today, but a decent tournament all things considered.
Serve seems to need more punch and reliability based on the stats from all her matches here.

In the doubles, Katie & Ivana beat another Aussie pair and get yet another one in the SFs, though this time it contains a player who was born in Leeds (Naiktha has dual nationality, so there were players with British citizenship in all 4 QFs), while Freya & Jelena pushed the top seeds very close.

QF: Christie/Ostapenko (GBR/LAT) lost to (1) Kalinina/Kulichkova (LAT/RUS) by 3-6 6-1 10:8
QF: (5) Stollar/Wallace (HUN/GBR) lost to (4) Komardina/Stojanovic (RUS/SRB) by 3 & 3
QF: (2) Boulter/Jorovic (GBR/SRB) beat Cabrera/Hives (AUS/AUS) by 7-6(4) 7-5

SF: (2) Boulter/Jorovic (GBR/SRB) v Bains/Tjandramulia (AUS/AUS)

No shame in the girls losing their L16 matches.

Well done to Katie on making the doubles semi
