But those have quickly evaporated 3-3*

:(

Freya now comes through another mammoth game to break back (6 deuces).

*4-3

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Freya wins 6-3 5-7 6-3. Sounded a right battle and very good that she has come through - we'll take any victory however they come given thr past few months.

Nadja Gilchrist, whom Jodie lost to, is the Bath based player who's had an excellent year thus far. At the beginning of the year she was unranked, now her live rank is 607, and she only just missed out on seeing in the qualifier by two places (8th seed was 614). Jodie was unlucky to draw her first up in a 60k qualifier.

Great to see 2 battling wins. Shame for Jodie. Thought this trip would bring a little more.

Assume she's playing the 2 british 25k's next.

Hanatani has just broken Leduc (Freya's conqueror last week) and is serving for the match now - Freya's match follows that on Centre Court

Bath based Gilchrist is a set and a break (*2-1) up in her match and Sam will follow that one.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Leduc wins 3 games in a row including two breaks to take the second set 7-5 and force a decider and with that I'll have to find out how Freya gets on in the morning.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

I'm doomed - Gilchrist was also taken to a decider (and is now a break down), so Sam will also have to wait, haha.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Freya underway. Was 15-40* but has got the early break *1-0.

But then gets broken to 15 in her first service game 1-1*

It's 4-4 final set in the match before Sam.

Freya 3-3*

Gilchrist finally wins a third set TB 10-8 in the match before Sam's.

Freya 4-4*

Sleeth has a 96% (22/23) first serve in %, winning 68% of these.

I see that she was 'only' at 92% (44/48) first serves in her QR1 match.
