DavidC · Tennis legend

Delighted for Katy - I sense she may have come here rather than Ilkley knowing that this gave her an opportunity to record a statement win before the Wimbledon WC committee meet

TomTraubert · Futures level

best ever win magic and after taking the first set bagel to
great job katy

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, probably not the worst time to record a CH win, being on grass and a couple of weeks before Wimbledon.

All the best to Katy and in this year in which she has really pushed forward hope some good news is going to come her way.

hoots · Intermediate Club Player

Very well done Katy. Saw her at Didsbury earlier in the week when she played very well despite losing 7-5 in the final set

Michael D · All-time great

Fantastic win for Katy, glad she has had an opportunity to show what she can do too. Meets Jodie in the next round so one of them is guaranteed further points too. Expect that to be Katy, even if Jodie also pulled off a wonderful performance today.

Its worth noting that Vikhlyantseva made the final of den Bosch last year so is no mug on grass.

On grass, Heather and Jo have won their matches with their opponents. Will both be tough but they mustn't be fearful.

TomTraubert · Futures level

only hev with boults in dubs
they got a winabble match

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Jodie with the early break, she leads *3-2. Shouldn't necessarily come down to one result, but you'd think Katy could certainly do with winning this one if she was to get the MDWC.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Katy breaks back and is now serving at 5-5.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

And Katy then goes on to take the next 2 game and wins the set 7-5.
