So it is!
Nice to see Freya. Playing quite well in a tight first set.
She needs to stay away from that Alexandrova BH though, as it's doing all the damage, especially cross court. 6-7(4)

Freya just kept teeing up the Russian's backhand, and it duly stung her time after time.
Noting wrong with her game, but her tactics, adaptability and court-craft seemed a bit naive today. 6-7(4) 3-6

 Very true. But then (apart from the Olympics) there are no higher women's events on this week, so there are bound to be plenty of players appearing that you wouldn't usually expect to see.

This is sad to watch already. Laura has zero confidence in any of her shots. Serve is not doing too badly, catching too many tosses though.

Laura has been broken... Lykina may well be short of confidence as she's not won a match since she started this North American swing (though before that she had a great run of results), so hopefully Laura will have a shot at this.

Some lovely groundstrokes from Laura when she has time on the ball.

Today's Scheduled Matches:

Match #1: L.Robson (GBR) vs. K.Lykina (RUS)
Match #2: E.Mertens (BEL) vs. E.Webley-Smith (GBR)
Match #3: N. Urbina (MEX) vs. A.Mestach (BEL)
Match #4: M.Oudin (USA) vs. T.Moore (GBR)

Ken Thomas' Quick Take

"Players from Belgium, Great Britain, Mexico, Russia the United States are featured on RadioTennis.com today."
"The #1 seed takes the court today. Elise Mertens of Belgium. She is currently ranked #137 in the world. She is truly an impressive professional."
"If you haven't heard yet...Serena Williams is out of the Olympics."
"Also, If you haven't heard yet...BBC tennis commentator Paul Hand was removed from the Rio Olympic broadcast for homophobic comments. What is it with British tennis media? Remember back in 2014, when Neil Harman admitted to plagiarism when writing for the Wimbledon Annual Yearbook? A few years back, I had some communication with BBC commentator David Law. All David Law cared about was protecting his media credential and isolating the BBC from any outside source. Now you have Paul Hand. All these so-called "British tennis media experts" are mediocre at best. The British public deserve better. British tennis fans are some of the most passionate and intelligent tennis fans in the world. Yet, British media organizations keep serving up these guys (no pun intended). David Law, Neil Harman and now Paul Hand. The BBC, Wimbledon and the LTA should take a serious look at who they place in these positions. Barbara Slater - Director of BBC Sport, should stop delegating these decisions and get actively involved in the selection process. Maybe...just maybe... Barbara should start with hiring commentators who have a media background and have actually played competitive tournament tennis."
"Barbara call me. I have both. Game on.... Day 4 from Landisville. It should be wonderful !"
