Bingo !!!! ( I am actually typing this before the match has ended as I do believe she is going to win this )

AND SHE DID - Tie break score 9 - 7 (I think) The last bit was quite exciting, swinging both ways and the bet365 scoreboard was thoroughly confused at times !

Phew!! Possibly a few cobwebs after a couple of weeks out of action but a win like that should be good for the confidence.

A scrappy match by the look of it, and maybe Laura took inspiration from Jo given the almost identical way their matches panned out today!

Good battling win, hopefully it'll spur her on to a good run this week.

Has Michelle quietened down any, in the early days she used to howl like a banshee every time she hit the ball?

I think I noted she was somewhat quieter when I watched their Nottingham match on stream a few months back.

That's a really good win. Although MLDB has fallen on tough times and is slipping backwards, she's still a good player, and that's a nice result.

Excellent news - I didn't manage to catch the end of Laura's match, so pleased to read about it this morning.
