Freya wins 6-1 in the 2nd set. I'm so pleased for her after an awful few months (1 win in 9 before today) but I bet Tammi Patterson is regretting her GB trip now - lost all three matches, including the last 2 in straight sets to Vicki Allen and out of form Freya.

Good to see from Freya and hopefully she can build on this but there is a bit of context there ...

Eden now one game away, 7-6 1-6 5-3*

Emily App breaks, but still trails 4-6 *2-0

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Eden had a match point, but in the words increasingly used by commentators, she 'has been asked the serve it out question' - *5-4

Emily Appleton flying now against Ella T, *5-0

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Eden S wins! 6-4 in the decider. Very good win.

2 top wins by brits against aussies

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Emily A beats Ella 4-6 6-0 6-1, looks comfortable in the end. I'm pleased for her and think she needed the win more, it's been a very good grass season so far for Ella, but the same can't be said for Emily.

Fourlis next who hasn't been too convincing so far on grass, Nell managed to take a set off her. The Aussie will be favourite, but there is a chance.
