Pirazhenka is not that good a player. I saw her at Wrexham last year and Tiffany William should have beaten her if it wasn't for all the unforced errors at the end.

Harriet could easily win this if she can maintain the levels.

Harriet gets her first main draw win of the year ... and it's almost a career best scalp!

L32: (Q) Harriet Dart WR 1053 beat (4) Sviatlana Pirazhenka (BLR) WR 424 (CH 417 this month) by 3 & 2

L16: (Q) Harriet Dart WR 1053 v (SE) Ekaterina Lopes (RUS) WR 712 (CH 136 in 2009)

Lopes won the title here last week.

Yes, certainly could be tough for Harriet.

But I don't really think that "ringer" is an appropriate word for Lopes. I am sure that she didn't deliberately have all that time out of the game to drop down the rankings and then pounce on unsuspecting 10Kers !

Lopes' first service game lasted 16 points, which is an encouraging start even though Harriet didn't have any break points. However, she is now break point down in her own first service game .. at which point, livescores seems to have gone to sleep

Harriet seems to make a habit of hauling her way back from the brink, at 1-5 down in the 2nd set she breaks, holds and breaks again *4-5

The scores came back with Harriet *2-5 down in the 2nd but she held serve and has now broken back again ... hopefully that's where the déjà vu from the 1st set stops!

4-6 *4-5
