Freya's serve stats for the set although low had improved from the 20's so hopefully will get higher as the match progresses.

Hopefully soon!!!

Well, Laura's ask was always the easiest. So well done her.
And Freya's the hardest.... but she's still got a chance, at 2-4 down, and doesn't seem to be too far off tha pace.
Katie's will be interesting - a player who was once top 30 is never 'really' WR 450 or whatever she is now.

Boulter has just broken for *4-2. Allez!

If you click refresh a couple of times sometimes it pops up. The app is working fine.

But Katie wins it 10-8.

Katie had a match point, but Slovakian class squeaked through after exactly 3 hours. Laura can avenge Freya in the QF.

Bah, real pity for Katie, it was likely to be tough but with a fair element of uncertainty as to just where Rybarikova was on her comeback trail. A notch too far it proved

Still Katie will be up to a further new CH in the 280s after her 15K title points are added on Monday and her 5 points here ( with next week's Turkey 60K also to potentially add on Monday week ) will probably push her ranking up a little bit more again and at least past Katy Dunne to GB #7. With these results following her decent time in Australia, culminating in a Mildura 25K final appearance, as things stand she will be heading pretty close to the top 200 in the race.

Good to see, after just about the whole of 2015 out, her now so on the up path again.

Hard luck again, but looks to have been a good competitive match.
