Great win for Barnett. 6-2 5-7 6-3, 92-80 points overall.
Possibly the London based Georgian next - if only EWS could have saw that out then we have have had another potential all GB FQR. Still, she's beat the #1 seed so will still fancy her chances.
She was very poor serving in the second set but sorted it out very well in the decider.
Got there for the last few points of Edens win.Have seen the action since then. Its really hot courtside. So not sure how long I will be here today. My wife is volunteering today tomorrow and Wednesday so should be here for some of each of those days.
She's just lost 6-3 6-2.She played well but was just outgunned by the bigger better more powerful player. What didn't help was three dfs in a row at 1-2 in the second set.
So who do you think is the better prospect out of Allen and Richardson and who would you expect to win tomorrow?
I would expect Eden to win, but when Vic is playing well she is pretty decent.
Victoria is just 17, Eden will be 20 in Sept. Wonderful prospect as Victoria appears to be I'd expect Eden's greater age and experience, especially recently at college in the US, where she seems to have been really flourishing, to make a difference. But this is grass, and so maybe a leveller for both too, if this is their first tournament on it this year...
