Lovely to see Katy come through with such a convincing result - now Van Uytvanck awaits - maybe she should find a video of how Tara beat her in the main draw at Wimbledon last year - I was there courtside and Van Uytvanck crumbled and fell away, so hope Katy can put her under pressure from the start.

I watched both days of Harriet's match and I thought she acquitted herself really well - to take the very solid Turkish player to three sets and have two match points should give Harriet a lot of encouragement - her opponent definitely stepped up a couple of gears in the second set and by the end they were both playing really good tennis.

Katie Swan also did well I think and came very close, and Tara's match was a really long, hard fought affair; Falconi is a very experienced player and I think it was tighter than the scoreline may have suggested - numerous deuces and breakpoints for both of them. At one time it looked as if Eden would join them, but her opponent dominated after that - anyway lots of good performances from our women, with only Gabi and Freya not really doing themselves justice.

As for the non-Brits, I'm really interested in a potential second round match between Rus and Martic - Martic came through qualifying to make the last 16 in the French Open and she is one of the players of greatest unfulfilled potential outside the top 100, which would be the exact description you would give her likely opponent, Arantxa Rus - others say Van Uytvanck is the best player in the qualies - I would say those two would rival her to top spot.

Anyway come on Maia, let's make it two through.
