Tara breaks back for 3*-4, aided by a load of DFs amid a teenage sulk

Etienne · Club Coach

Seems to have stuck at 4-5. MTO? Rain?

Lengthy MTO for Vekic to get treatment to her back/left shoulder - she's right handed.

5-5

Tara 6-2, 6*-5, to serve for the match

Well done Tara - surely that gets a Wimbledon wildcard

Great job beating Vekic again; 48 points in the locker; well done Tara :D
GL against McHale ranked 67 in R2 :)

Where has Tara Moore been for the last few years? Her recent form has been very good, I have to say she's looking much fitter than before. Hopefully she gets a wildcard for Wimbledon.

Another brilliant result for Tara

Should be inside top 250 now and over $3K better off

Superb. Even when she was down in the second it wasn't so much her playing badly as Vekic just playing high risk and getting the pay off. Not sure there was much in the MTO other than nearly halting Tara's momentum but she did well to hold from 30-30 and then was very easy final two games.

I think she can beat McHale, but she's played a lot of tennis. An absolute joy to see things clicking for her right now, her game has always been beautiful when on, and now we are seeing it consistently. Long may it continue.
