Serena awaits another qualifier, Eklund or Carruthers, in R2

Great start from Holly up 4-1*
Izzy in a dog-fight with the 5th seed 5*-5
Lisa in front of Beth in their decider 4-2*

Izzy has only gone and taken the first set and Barbieri is a pretty decent player.

Turning into a cracking day for the British girls (and boys) in the UK (and abroad)

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

Keep it going Izzy :)
Lisa wins against Beth 6-3 in the decider

DF · Tennis legend

Holly manages to hold on to her serve. Still in front 5-4

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

Holly drops the set 5-7 :(
Izzy 7-5; 2*-2
Emily under way and breaks to love 2*-0 :)

DF · Tennis legend

Holly loses the first set 5-7
Izzy is level at 2-2 in the second (having won the first)
and Emily has started well at 2-0 against the Serbian

SNAP!

Good win - I know her coach occasionally posts on here. Would be good to here some feedback.

Another first point to go with Laura S earlier.

Surely a case starting to build to put on more 10k's next year

I believe she's had a couple of changes of coach recently so I don't think it's the same guy now.

But great win, with credit to both her current coach and her previous one, as it's all part and parcel.

And to Serena herself, of course smile smile

Emily Arb is in a right royal battle with the Serbian(as has been the case recently) - lost the first set on the tie break and was a break up, but just been pegged back to 4-4

Tara is still waiting to get on court.

DF · Tennis legend

Emily into her second tb of the match. Hope she does better in this one!

She just doesn't lay down and die, that girl....

Emily Arb was 2-4 down in the tie-break, after a REALLY tight second set, and has now taken the second set T-B

Wonder if even her legs though will give up in the third......

Good fight Emily; good luck in the decider :)

Poor old Tara though...not before 1pm it says!!

last time I saw Tara she was dead into these new fancy, 'aimed at adults' colouring books that seem all the rage.

She's probably had time to colour a whole set of them this afternoon......

Emily won the third set 6-0. Nice way to finish.
