They've obviously got Naomi so that'll obviously help, but imagine a similar Japanese forum to this regarding Kato. 22 year old makes a home WTA final and is on the brink of the top 100 and then a year later she's clinging on to her spot in the top 400.
One of the breaks back and a hold, 3-4*. Definitely going to bed now and hopefully Kato's miserable form will have continued by the time I wake up.
It was very funny. I read this before seeing who Katy was playing. I assumed Kato was a new nickname for Katy ( maybe because she's playing in Oz or maybe to annoy Jaggy)and couldn't understand why Ace wanted her to lose!
A bit unlucky tonight. Gabi is on at 12am so, I'll be able to follow at least the first set, but it's not streamed. Jodie's match is 2nd up, so probably around 1.30/2am and is streamed but far too late for me.
I may watch the first set of ex Brit Issy Wallace's match against Bernie's sister Sara.

Wins 6-0 6-2 in under an hour and a much needed win. Probably in line to face another Japanese opponent next as Minokoshi (259) is a set and a break up on Bozovic.
