Esther won the second set 7-5 against the WTA351. Holly lost the first set 4-6 while Eliz is 1-4 down in the second

We have our first winner    Eliz held on to her serve from 0-30 in the ninth game and then her Mexican opponent crumbled with 4 errors, mainly at the net, allowing Eliz to break to love for the match

(WC) Eliz Maloney d. Maria Jose Portillo Ramirez (MEX) 6-2 2-6 6-4

Emily helped by 12 aces becomes our second winner - from the little I saw she appeared to be bossing the match but making enough errors to keep the Japanese girl in contention.

 Thaisa Grana Pedretti (BRA) d. (WC) Anna Loughlan 6-0 6-3

(8) Emily Appleton d. Ayumi Miyamoto (JPN) 6-2 4-6 6-2

Gemma couldn't make much impact on the second seed. Although the French Open champion wasn't very impressive in the Roehampton first round, according to CD, I guess the three matches she played there have helped to accustom her to the surface. In the couple of games I saw she was employing drop shots effectively.

Monday's matches featuring Brits are also on courts 5 and 6 with Jodie on four, so a good chance that most will be streamed. French Open semifinalist Elena Rybakina (WTA 428 / JWR 5) was the highest seed to fall on Saturday - paying the price for not playing a warm-up tournament on grass (similar to 2016 FO champion Rebeka Masarova, who got thumped by Gabi last year). Two of the last 3 Wimbledon winners - Potapova and Ostapenko - won Roehampton as well.  The fourth match on court 6 (in between Anton and Barnaby) is arguably the match of the round between Roehampton finalist Kaja Juvan (WTA 576) and semifinalist/Australian Open champion Marta Kostyuk (WTA 508)
