Tara recovers an early break to level in the second. Fairly even tussle this one, now 5-5*

Vekic plays horribly from 40-0 to give Tara break point, but plays 3 fabulous points to hold.

Then breaks to 15 on a double fault.

Tara loses 76(6) 26 75

For what its worth, it was a super match.

She's had a good year Tara. Could be an exciting 2017, a lot of scope to move up the rankings further in the first part of the season.

That looks two good quality performances here with a win and a loss.

As PaulM says take that form on for anything that remains of her 2016 and into 2017, with wins of course, and she has much scope to move up the rankings and she's already threatening her CH 160.

In some nice numbers her updated ranking total of 350 is made up : 50 from 6 counters added up to May, 300 from 10 counters added from the start of June.

By the way, that makes her pretty clearly the 2nd top GB points scorer from the start of June, highlighting her success and how Heather and Naomi have dipped and they both have a large portion of their current points to defend in the first half of 2017.

I saw some of Tara's first match and she's as frustratingly inconsistent as ever, alternating brilliance with woefulness - the brilliance has shone through a lot more this year but I still hope that she can reduce the woefulness a lot more in the future.

YAY; well done Anna and Renata. Anna getting close to her CH again :D

Excellent :D
