Yes, but Katie gets Tornado, third seed, next. A different kettle of fish from Margot . . .

However, she's got some lovely tennis, has our Katie, so why not . . .

Anyone know when / if the juniors start to be streamed? I seem to remember they get televised towards the latter half of this week?

It varies from year to year, but they usually stream a few matches from the middle of the week onwards. Maia is a possibility tomorrow, but I suspect we will have to wait until Thursday, when the main draw backlog should have cleared sufficiently to allow a few junior matches on one of the 6 main courts

Tami Grende beat Katie B on the way to the Malaysian G1 title earlier this year. Michaela Gordon is a 14 year old, part of the team with CiCi Bellis, which won the World Juniors last year

Yes, and surely we need to be positive and hope that the winds of change are starting to blow through British tennis... smile

Maia 7-5 0-1*

Izzy 2-6 2-3*

DavidC · Tennis legend

Maia breaks back and breaks again for 4*-2
Izzy 4*-4

DavidC · Tennis legend

Maia served out to 30 for a 7-5 6-3 win

Michaela broke Izzy to serve for the match, but Izzy broke back (don't think there were any matchpoints)

Izzy 2-6 6-5*

DavidC · Tennis legend

Izzy completes the second set comeback to level at 1 set all: 2-6 7-5

DavidC · Tennis legend

Izzy was broken in the first game of the decider but hit back for 3-1, and saved breakpoint(s) for 4-1. Michaela though has just won the last two games so it is 4-3*
