Well done KB

Oh yes, that looks to have been really good tough match play from Katie over these last 3 games. From *3-4 all the last 3 games went to deuce or double deuce in two of them, indeed she was BP down in her 2 service games, but she held, broke and held for the match

Wow, that was tense - and brilliant from Katie! When Kovinic took the 2nd set, it was hard to imagine the Brit toughing out the 3rd for a career best ranking scalp when she had to serve 2nd as well and with so much at stake. She's on quite a roll! She's 0-3 H2Hv Soylu but they were all in juniors - a grade 4 SF in 2011 and two grade 1 finals in 2013.

Naomi valiantly asserting that that our proud nation's akcay is not for sale, whatever Buyukakcay may think...

2-2 in the third

Career best win for KB, with Solyu (WTA163) now between her and the main draw

Naomi breaks again and will serve for the match at *5-2

Did have a BP/MP but no go for now. Another chance to serve it out though.

*5-4
