Gibbs/watson 3 - 1 in the second. Score functioning on bet365

Good news! Thanks for that

From 6-3 to 6-5, but they take it. Joss made three wonderful winners in the TB.
Game on!
4-6 7-6(5)

 Great, hope Joss can continue to perform final set, lame as she is. smile

Super effort. Joss swung a bit more and Anna upped her level enough to help protect Joss' serve and cut out some silly mistakes.

If they were fully firing they'd romp this. The Japanese opponents are not great but our girls do look severely hampered by niggles and lack of play.

Whew, that's a relief, and far closer than it should have been. confuse At least that is some points and Euros for Josanna. Taipei Chans next, who are the 3rd seeds, so I guess that'll be that. Hope they can recover their collective fitness somewhat for the grass season.

E20K banked - nice little earner especially if they are not fully fit

That's a really good win, considering they don't seem to be fully fit.

Through to play 2Chan, which looks impossible.

Up from 80= to a very provisional 72= in the live rankings...

live-tennis.eu/wta-doubles-live-ranking

Gutsy stuff.

Well done Jossanna. Useful points and, more importantly, a (relatively) big pile of cash.
