Not very confident about Katie's match today.

 Yep, same. Would far rather they'd be allowed to swap opponents, but Bondar is ranked higher than Galfi so it is what it is I guess. She is obviously higher ranked and has the crowd and I assume better access to facilities and what not and a slight favourite with the bookies, but I do have a bad feeling for some reason.

Hmm, was looking very comfortably at 5-1*, not so much now *5-4. Galfi with 9 of the last 10 points.

That's got to be generally be one of the most annoying things in tennis. 3 quick easy points to go 0-40* down and then get 2 hard fought points back, have a look at a second serve, but ultimately lose the game.

*2-3

Loses the second 76(5).

Galfi looking the better player and massively underranked but Katie can play much better than this.

This shows how brutal the format is, having to play and win back to back four days in a row. Katie a bit spent here. 2-3* final set.

 DC is/was a better format. Katie brought it somewhat on herself but having all these 3 setters. She needs to cut that out some.

I had to go out at the end of the first set. Came back to find Katie a set and a break down - but she broke back as soon as I started watching again .........

These final few games here could well decide the whole tie. Absolutely massive.

Katie kept missing low, short balls at the AO, here she's chipping this balls into court which I'm not sure is the best tactic but at least there going in.

Stunning start to the TB, and she makes no mistake from there winning it 7-1. Well done.

Well done Katie. Hopefully Jo can wrap this up next, that looked like the hardest part passed.

Be interesting to see Galfi progress. Definitely not a sub 300 player and could well have the higher ceiling out of the 2.
