R1: KONTA, Johanna (GBR) 9 10 def BRENGLE, Maddison (USA) 90 6-3 6-1
Brengle saves three match points by playing more aggressively than she has all match, but not the 4th.
Well done. I also had a dodgy feeling about this. Glad to be proved so hopelessly wrong.
Naomi playfully pleading to Anna to 'pick me' as her new permanent doubles partner! She also said baking was the way to her heart. Annie, Anna & Jo can all send her some lovely muffins and persuade her to reconsider Fed Cup!
