Really nice effort from Nik and Em, losing 64 64 to the second seeds in a close run thing. They recovered from a break down twice in the first set, but couldn't hold to level (including crucially at *4-5) and then had a couple of game points for a 42* lead in the second set (as well as being 30-0 up in the final game) but weren't able to close out.

I don't think the move indoors will really have suited them, given their love for the grass, but at least Nik got some points on the board this week to do some damage limitation (and she is now defending nothing except Quebec for the rest of the year), and it will be interesting to see if they team up again next week.
