Just the sort of match Laura needs to play - and win of course. I see live ranking is showing right now as 212 and 181 (NCH)

Spectator · All-time great

Good!

Lost the doubles 6-4 6-7(3) 10-4

Lost the last 7 points sadly after a good fightback.

Laura's match should be starting shortly. The match, I think will be streamed, not sure where but the Tennis366 youtube account has been uploading matches from the centre court, so we should get a visual on how Laura is playing at the moment.

She's down 0-2
NOT a good start but room and time to improve

Score now 4-4

PaulM · Tennis legend

Got her serve rhythm going and everything started to click. Good return game to nick the set 6-4

Laura needs 5 break points but gets the break at the start of the second

*2-0

PaulM · Tennis legend

Other than the first game, this has been a really solid serving performance. Lots of love service games, good first serve % (currently over 70%), hitting the first strike follow-up nicely into the space.

Shame there aren't more indoor tournaments, at least reduces one variable that can cause her to have yips, especially with the toss.

3-0*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Missed four individual match points (third was a very lucky, or rather unfortunate, dead net cord), but takes the fifth with another return winner

So easy in the end, she played really, really well, and Lemoine pretty much rolled over in submission other than the penultimate game. I thought Laura moved very well which was nice to see, defended nicely, didn't go for too much and was hitting pretty cleanly. Returned particularly well, won lots of points straight off the return, either with a clean winner or a forced error.

Etienne · Club Coach

Finishes with 8 straight games.

Very well done Laura, great to see that serve working well again, and it sounds like the rest of her game is on track too.
