Sharapova survives another bp before taking the opening set 1-6.

Some good shots from Sam but the rallies are one-sided.

Great job Heather.

Sam had 4 opportunities in that first set, missed them all. Even against Sharapova for someone like Sam it's fine margins, she really should have another few games on the board, but because she didn't take her chances it looks like she could be on the way to a 61 60 drubbing.

Sam's vulnerable serve in full view. 44% first serve 6 dfs out of 20 second serves. Bps saved 0/5

Totally out-classed. Hit some good shots but could have performed a lot better.

Sam loses 61 60

Scoreline expected, performance much better than I had hoped. Played some nice stuff, a few really great points, and actually she was picking all the right shots but not quite able to pull them off.

Deserved a few more games and to stretch it over the hour (coming in at 56minutes)

Hard to see where it's all gone wrong this year since the injury as she's doing the right things. Confidence mainly I think.

I thought Sam started out ok (obviously helped by Shazza serving so many faults early on) and, as PaulM said, she had her chances in the 1st set. She did go on to lose 1 & 0 though, but apart from the score, nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be given her indifferent form since coming back from injury.

That's all a consequence of the wrist injury I think and a lack of confidence in it and herself.

Grr. I was upstairs, ironing, but Heather's match wasn't available on Freeview. Well done, Heather.

I was shocked about that - not good enough from the Beeb

Tara's match should be on Court 2 soon. The best of luck to her.
