Given that I had Katie in my top 10 predictions rather than Harriet, think that result merits a "well done, with apologies" from me; here's hoping she can upset the rankings in R1 too :)
Looks a handy R1 draw for Freya...
Good to see the final swing was to Freya with 6 of the last 7 games. Good that she evidently managed to close out the final set straightforward enough after sets one and two.
Things looking a bit difficult lately for Freya, but hopefully her decent looking draw can bring a main draw win and build confidence. All the best to her and Katie.
Katie loses, 3-6 6-3 1-6
2/10 on BP, compare to Hon's 4-9
1st serve pts won was ~75% in first two sets, only 30% in the decider
Freya in trouble against the 16 year old, 3-6
6 DF in 4 service games, and only winning barely 11% of points on the Ukranian 1st serve.
there is a toilet break.
R16: (Q) Freya CHRISTIE (GBR) 337 lost to Katarina ZAVATSKA (UKR) 628 3-6 1-6
R16: (Q) Katie BOULTER (GBR) lost to v. (WC) Priscilla HON (AUS) 569 3-6 6-3 1-6
To be fair, if you watch the videos on Tennis366, the first round wins weren't stunning. Katie's opponent in particular seemed barely able to find the court in the segments I watched. Which is not to take away from the victories, but I'd not interpret them as indicators of good form generally.
I haven't seen any of the R1 action myself and take your point; I was meaning in the sense of hoping that a momentum might have been gathering pace through qualies and R1 which hope was thwarted in R2
