There is another R16 match between Katie's L32 match and the winner playing Dalila Jakupovic in the L16. And I'm sure even that even if that is spectacularly quick they'll give much more than half an hour's rest   confuse

A win in her R1 / L32 match will be pretty good, I would be surprised and very impressed if she wins quickly. I guess just concentrate on that first match in a normal manner and then go from there.

 Except 1/2 means between 1 and 2 hours Indy !, I knew there was one match between the 2. Absolutely focus on the 1st one, which is against the seed, and see how much you have in the tank left for the next one.

 

Ah ha, in my defense it's ambiguous, though I probably should have cottoned on

Plenty of further rain forecast today, but there has at least been play so far in Katie's match.
Scoreboard very intermittent - nothing, nothing, nothing... 3 games all at once etc.
4 consecutive breaks.
*4-4

And (for maximum effect, I should have put this in a new comment) right on cue, or rather, after a lengthy delay, the next update shows that...
Katie has won the next three games in a row, and secured the first set in the process
6-4 1-0*

Katie wins 6-4 6-3

For the majority of the second set, Katie was in complete control. She won her first 15 points on serve and 11 in a row to get the crucial break. A little shaky at the end going 0-30 down while serving it out at the end of losing six points in a row, but held her nerve and took the next four to win. Great win.

Quick question. Will Katie get the point earned through qualifying on top of the 5 for reaching R16?

R1: (Q) Katie SWAN (GBR) 461 defeated Hiroko KUWATA (JPN) [4] 203 6-4 6-3

R2: (Q) Katie SWAN (GBR) 461 vs. Dalila JAKUPOVIC (SLO) 294 (CH 230 12/2015)
Jakupovic has been trying $25/$50K all this year and struggling to win any matches. She did upset Lykina in the last round though.

Looks like there is a race between Katie and Laura for the better ranking.

Good week for Katie so far.

Katie lost the second set (and her fourth of the day) very quickly 6-1. Has she run out of energy, or just conserving it for the decider?

Slightly worrying reverse in that 2nd set. MTO possibly/ tired from earlier match ? Decider to come.

It's hard work, but also a great response from Katie to take a 3-0 lead in the decider.
