Tara serves three doubles in her opening service game and is broken to 15

Lisa *1-0, and saves 3 break points for 2-0*

Freya broken at the start of the second

Oh Freya :(

Does all the hard work to level up at *4-4, then loses three points in a row from 40-30 to be broken.

GSM Mendesova 76(6) 64. Definitely a match that she had chances in. Mendesova is top 300 really because she mopped up various (pretty weak) $10ks last year, so this was always going to be a match within Freya's capabilities. She couldn't quite get there, but it's now time for her to start picking up regular wins and going deep in these tournaments, and getting that ranking up.

Tara broke back but misses numerous break points at 4-3*, so it's *4-4.

I agree PaulM.
Mendesova's record is pretty unimpressive, based almost solely on 10Ks.
Pity that Freya couldn't make it at least into a three-setter.
But, at 17, and with relatively little adult tennis experience, she's showing good signs.
I wonder if she is going to focus on adult tennis this year or still keep cracking on in juniors? I know various people have said that her game is far more suited to adult tennis - as such, maybe she'll just give the rest of juniors a miss?

Lisa breaks again (up 5 breaks to 3 in the match now) to go *4-3 up in the 2nd set

Lisa won the next 2 points but Tara now has a point to break back again, which she does.

0-15 ... 15-15 ... 30-15 ... double fault 30-30 ... 30-40 yet another break back point ... deuce ... another bp ... tiebreak

That's the 6th break in a row and there have been 10 breaks in 12 games in the 2nd set (!)
