Laura and Michelle - Same outfit - dear dear

Hmm, Nike I believe.

In recent times managing to take some of the individuality away from tennis as they have done for years in athletics ( it's the runner in orange - err, who's not in orange ?! - substitute colours for different meetings ) as they bang a new outfit into folks' consciousness.

OK, we normally know who's who in tennis, but still ...

Laura looks to be playing ok. Match is definitely on her racket. Every rally she's been ahead I've seen so far but the consistency just isn't there.

Laura broken, breaks straight back.

On the evidence so far, Laura can hit Michelle off the court. Better serve and more powerful groundstrokes. It will come down to whether she hits the ball in or out.

Good job Laura is left-handed - or it would only be the hair style to tell them apart

They're also the same colour as the sponsor backgrounds and the ball kids! It's a bit surreal! The clones have arrived.

Excluding DF or Aces - 14 UE, 9 winners in the set for Laura - which represents a massive improvement so far over the last few matches.

Her movement is blooming dreadful. But absolutely no doubt she's playing a lot better than she has been
