Quite tough draws. The umpire in Katy's match will need to make sure they have their teeth in....

Yes, that's a Malagasy name, they are nearly all that long smile

Be a kind soul Katy and just don't leave the umpire many occasions to have to say "game to" your opponent.

A strange match. Only two breaks of service in the 1st set, both to Rus. The 2nd set went 3 breaks to 1 to Gabby. The final set came down to who could hold service. Gabby went 4-5 down serving to save the match having lost all 4 service games and only won 4 points in the 1st 4 service games. She then went 40-0 before winning game 15, broke again to go 6-5 up and served well enough to win the last game. So 9 breaks of service in the 12 games of the final set.

Katy had a horrible trip other than one week

But that was a bad draw.

Great wins for the others
