Good stuff. Serving first here as well which may be beneficial.

Did a lil fist pump to myself in bed.

Then I realised its 1am and a tennis player has just levelled up at 1 set all in a relatively low level tennis tournament and only in the second round and I couldnt even watch it but was watching live scores. When did it get like this?

God, I love it :)

Naturally starting to look at that Bonaventure-Zheng match a bit now. The Chinese player leads 6-4 3-1*

Although Kiick is threatening to get the early break here...

Potentially a big hold there. Was 15-30 and then deuce, but sees it out. 1-0*

Katie also had 30-15 in Allie's first service game, but Kiick came back with 3 unanswered points to level and she's continued that into the next game to take the next 2, so last 5.

1-1 *0-30 - a bit of trouble here

Damn, Kiick breaks to love 1-2* (7 points in a row).

A DF from AK stops that rot at 8 points, 15-15*

indiana · Tennis legend

At least Kiick didn't do that when they came out for the resumption and it's still relatively early in the 3rd set, says he trying to keep reasonably positive ...

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

The end looks nigh. Had a few BPs and took the third I think and a very long way back now. 1-4*

indiana · Tennis legend

First serve in % has been poor throughout but now running at 30% this set, not that her first serve win % is that great even when it lands in.

Well, she got back in and had a chance of a final set shootout so has had her chances.

Can she yet have another chance, please !!

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Shame, had a BP but Kiick holds and 5 games in a row now. *1-5.

Didn't see that coming at 1-0 30-15*

Well that was a bit disappointing. 6 games in a row for AK. Katie loses 4-6 7-5 1-6.

An excellent win in the first round so still decent overall, but could have been a lot more.

Is Katie playing Rogers quals net week as I see she is pretty much the only Brit of the group not featured in Landisville.
