If she can avoid losing the 1st game of the final set she might make it.

I'm off now.

Tara 0-3*
Tara struggles at the start of each set but finishes strongly. Recovering from 2 breaks down in the final set may be a step too far.

Sigh. Not the best of draws but still, she needs to be winning these if she's to show signs of moving forward. Not been a positive 2014 so far cry

Only small crumbs of comfort but Joss and Anna won their doubles easily so, in the QF, now play Naomi plus Eleni. So GB reps. in the SFs.

Emily and Bychkova led 4-1* with 2 break points, had 3 break points at 4-3*, all missed.

But they get a set point at deuce at 5-4*, and take it.

64 *00

PaulM · Tennis legend

Em's Asian adventure gets a little more profitable winning 64 26 14-12 (they saved 4 match points from 5-9* and another at *11-12 , missing match points themselves at *10-9 and 11-10* before clinching it)

Em and B lost the second set 2-6 and then into one of those mammoth MTBs from hell - which they won 14-12 :::)))
