Cav recovers from 5-2* to *5-5 15-30

murray_2k9 · Challenger qualifying

And breaks for 5-6*

Hopefully more a case of Naomi adjusting to the step up in class and raising her level rather than Tara dropping hers.

5 games in a row, first set Cav 7-5

Katie is 6-4 2-1* up v Jegiolka

Naomi breaks again - she is 4/4 on bps, Tara 1/1, but Cav is having trouble serving it out - 0-30

steven · Tennis legend

They are still both 100% on bps - Tara gets one of the breaks back. Naomi leads 7-5 5-3*

steven · Tennis legend

Beth wins 4 & 1 - there were 11 breaks in 17 games, Eden only holding serve once in 8 attempts.

Wow Em. A good win over the clay courter.

Good win for Beth, but disappointed for Eden.

Well done Naomi. Tara is in a slide and could do with a good offseason, so I'm not too disappointed to see Naomi continuing her great run here.

Surprised to see Katy struggling with Vajdova, but she's a double break up in the third now.

Katie also getting close to the finish line, hope she can close it out.

steven · Tennis legend

Naomi wins 5 & 3 - the biggest ranking scalp of her comeback in a match that has gone the distance (Rodionova was ranked higher but retired)

Katy is now 4-0* up in the 3rd

steven · Tennis legend

Katy wins with double bakery sandwiching a mild wobble! 6-1 4-6 6-0

PaulM · Tennis legend

Glad Katy closed that out after a small blip in the middle.

Katie has match point.... missed. Here's another... missed. Break point... saved. Break point....

5-4*

Ugh

PaulM · Tennis legend

Katie misses 2 break points to salvage a tiebreak and loses the second set 7-5.

Sigh.

4 GB girls through already(prediction was 5)

Beth was a surprise result. Has Cav got enough points for top 500 now?

Katie has just dropped the second set 7-5, but if she wins it would be a bonus.

Not quite. Cav will have 52 points when these are added - the current WR 500 has 56.
