This match looked really hopeful when I first started looking at the scores - Katie was a set 2-0* up, which quickly became a set & 4-0*. She then lost 3 games in a row (only one break) and served for the set at 5-4 but lost 4 points in a row from 15-0 up then got broken to love in the 12th game.
She wobbled a bit serving for the 1st set too - having broken to love for 6-5, she served 3 double faults in the final game of the 1st set, at 15-0, 30-15 and 30-30 (to go break point down), though she then won the next 3 points to take the set.
I thought maybe she was injured and it had been getting worse, especially when she went 0-3 down in the 3rd but just when I thought all was lost, she has won 3 games in a row to level up the decider! 7-5 5-7 3-3*

I'm so glad Katie came through that one in the end Spare a thought for the poor French fans going through all that without the consolation of a happy ending ...
