Another break for Katie in the ding-dong second. Getting a much better read on that kick Davis serve (well, at, officially, 5ft 2in - that's shaded generously, she can't serve it flat and fast!) now it seems, if she can get more out of her own serve we've got a chance.
And Katie does, holds, and consolidates the break.
1-6 4-2*

The 1st set was a real tussle, forget what the scoreline suggested, and now Katie's getting her just rewards in the 2nd, keep up the great work !

Hmm.. just because you have an insurance break, doesn't mean you have to use it.
But, on the up side, break now and it'll be first serve advantage in the decider.
1-6 5-3*

Could do with a nice hold here Katie.

OK, Channel your inner Vika from yesterday, Katie - completely fluff serving for it first time, then second time's a breeze.

1-6 *5-4

Great fighting there. Glad to see her get a 3rd set. Wonder what she can do now?

Meanwhile, on court 4, Naomi gets underway.
Edit: as noted above, indeed.
