Decent preparatory run for Jo though, a tough test is what she needs at this stage.

Good start for Heather and Mihaela against nervous-looking opponents. 3-0*

Well their opponents settled quickly, and are running away with it. First set gone 3-6

How many break points has Jo had and failed to take now. Seems to have chances every other game but can't convert. Was 15-40 there but Ash holds 1-1, second set.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

It is actually just the 3, but she did have 0-30 in another.

Jo is 3-6 2-1 40-15*, 2 more BPs here.

And again, 2 more are saved bleh . She's been in loads of good positions on the Ash serve.

Jo breaks back in the decider, *3-4

Well, she might have won that if she hadn't got so steamed up about the line-call. I wasn't impressed (though I have no idea if it was a bad call).

General opinion on Twitter is that it was a bad call, but even so, the way she spoke to the Umpire was not pretty.

very useful week her top 10 comitment status messes her points up a bit as she has to count scores she coud other wise drop unti end of the wta finals so still needs big weeks to count as she carry lots of must count bad scores
hope to turn the corner soon should be top 50 at least by year end with these points
