Week 16 - ITF ($25K) - Obidos, Portugal Carpet

christ · Futures level

... only playing with the wrong hand.

the addict · Tennis legend

Well she is going to have to up her game now, as she's lost the first set 6-2. Too many errors, and not finding her opponents weaknesses.

the addict · Tennis legend

Much better.
Katie S 2-6 6-3 *1-1
Katie B 7-6(5) *1-1

christ · Futures level

14 breaks in the first 20 games. Serve doesn't look like an advantage!

Grachka · County player

(2) Katie Boulter GBR 7-6(5) 5-2* Eva Guerrero Alvarez ESP

(1) Arina Rodionova AUS 6-2 3-6 2-4* Katie Swan GBR

the addict · Tennis legend

Scoreboards seem to have got stuck.
Katie B has left the court, so must have won.
Hatie S held serve after a long long game, so *2-5

Jaffa · Challenger level

Katie B won 7-6 6-3.

Katie just held in a marathon game for 5-2*

Jaffa · Challenger level

Well done young Katie Swan. A great performance in difficult conditions. That forehand she possesses is a lovely shot.

the addict · Tennis legend

She made a bit of a meal of it finishing off the match, with those 3MP lost in the previous game. Too many balls down the middle today I think, should certainly have attacked the backhand more. Pity her serving wasn't the best today, could have made things a lot easier. Much the better player though, although Rodionova has great defence on the forehand side.
