Multiple double faults from Davis, and so Katie has an early break in the third, too.
1-6 6-4 *1-0

Lauren Davis gifts a break with a DF. Thank you!

4 DFs in two service games - looks completely out of her depth in this match.

I think she has been thrown in too early, especially after getting battered last week in a 25K.

Turns out she was thrown in about 40 minutes too early.

This is great from Katie - but I'm suddenly much more nervous than I was expecting to be following this match!

The match clock ticks to 2 hours...

Come on Katie.

Naomi still on serve.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

No need to be nervous, I think this is a trend when stepping up a level Katie doesn't tend to start playing until she's 4-0 down in the second having lost the first.
