89-89 in points as more break points come and go (Katy has taken 4 from 15 now), the latest saved by a Kalinina ace.

Missing those chances for a double break proved costly as Kalinina broke back in the next game It's now 3-6 7-5 *4-5, with Katy serving to stay in the match.

Sadly ...

L32: Katy Dunne WR 304 lost to (8) Anhelina Kalinina (UKR) WR 300 (CH 245 in Sep; 17yo junior WR 11/CH 8) by 6-3 5-7 6-4

All the more frustrating given that Kalinina will play the winner of an all-(WC) match in R2

That's a shame. Not much you can do when your opponent serves an ace on break point but she had chances to take what would have been a fine win.

Pity.

Katy has probably not had as much success as she would have liked since her Imola 15K title in July.

But appears to have had a few niggles. Signs she is getting more into form again so hopefully a good end to the year, a good close season and I can see her making a real push forward again.

How high should I put you in my prediction stakes for next year, Katy ? I reckon you might squeeze into the GB top 10 again :)
