Eden lost 6-2 6-2 against the top 200 French woman. Which was only to be expected and at least seems to have been a decent-ish match. So well done Eden and keep going !

Katy is 5*-2 up and serving for the second set ! C'mon Katy - Brianti is no spring chicken and loves her clay so this might be the moment.

katy won that second set
was a break down in the third but got it back level now
6-2 2-6 2-2*

sets were only alowwed to be 6-2 it seems
2-6 6-2 2-6

tara has started with a break *1-0

Tara won the first set 6-2, Sam is 4-1 up

big surprise sirotkina is the scurge of the brits
GB is 5-27 against her
and 2 of those 5 were by naomi cavaday when marta was 15 or 16

sam fighting on behalf of many fallen GB foes over the years

Sam has broken again (must have been *2-3 rather than a break down, I think - maybe the service marker was lazy about moving as it sometimes is, now 5-3*)
