Well, this is a lot better than her first two events this year, and signs of improvement again today, a break up in the second... now conceded back

4-6 3-2*

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

There have been a lot of breaks (8 in total, 5 in the second set) but Emily is serving for the second set, 4-6 *5-3

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

But is broken back

And doesn't win another game.

Had chances, but, having been fine in the first set, Emily's second serve was nowhere in set 2 (16.7% won, 3/18)

She would have done better to have just used 1st serves and accepted the DFs.

A doubly good break; of which, advantage can hopefully be taken.

I think this has been discussed before, but I forget the answer. LLs in 25Ks ?

Will Emily get the point that all other R1 participants get and then should she advance just the normal 25K points, ie. not the additional point that kicks in from R2 for qualifiers?
