Bit of a discrepancy on the live scores - ITF show 5-5 in the 3rd, bet365 4-4 and the stream 4-5* 2 match points to Sasnovich - sadly, it looks like the stream is correct.
L32: (Q) Charlotte Pearce UNR lost to (2) Aliaksandra Sasnovich (BLR) WR 123 (= CH) by 6-2 1-6 6-4
Quite a performance though!

Good work Charlotte - some nice rallies in that match; many fewer UEs than you expect from an unranked player, and some nice passing shots from Charlotte.
Em WS looks to have got a win by retirement :::))) (If you trust the ITF site, which is not maybe the best idea at the moment, but that's what it says).
Izzy seemed to be 4-4, before another rain delay kicked in.
Agree that Kaite has a good chance tomorrow - the Polish girl was hardly invincible against Eden.

I hope that's right but it seems to be a retirement before a ball was hit, i.e. a withdrawal, which should let a lucky loser in.

She might possibly have retired in the warm-up, though, which wouldn't show on the scoreboard but would be an actual retirement and not a withdrawal.
Not that I wish the poor girl ill but I hope she managed just a couple of forehands before deciding it wasn't a good idea
