2-7 in the TB (still a few points to win...) but looking like another battling, spirited comeback, but not to be.

Hopefully Holly can see hers out without the need for the dreaded MTB.

Just what I was thinking - Holly, PLEASE, can we avoid a MTB????

Good effort from Sasha....

Quite strange, 3 times here the more fancied seed won the first set, lost the second, but ran away with the MTB. If this one goes to a MTB, hopefully it will continue to go with the person who won the first set, but this time not the seed.

Holly was *4-3 up, but now serving to stay in it at *4-5.

Hmm, broken to love so another dreaded MTB. This time the momentum with the opponent (not that it helped Tiff or Sasha, here's hoping...)

(Hoping that the instant Eeyore reaction to the MTB can jump-start a change in GB MTB fortunes today....)

Another fairly one sided MTB unfortunately. Holly had 2-0, but lost it 4-10. Very good effort, but a case of what might have been at *4-3 in the 2nd set.

Oh bleh another MTB lost.

Poor start from Tara. *0-3, only won 1 point in those 3 games.

Ella underway as well *1-1

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Tara back on serve *3-3.

Ella is *3-1, but in danger of relinquishing her break.

Tara lost first set on tiebreak, 2-0 up in second

Emily lost first set 6-3

Ella lost first set 6-4 but has just won second set 6-1 against top seed

Ella had a lead in the MTB, I think something like 5-2, but it's now 5-7 and looking like yet another MTB. Tara and Emily are up in their second sets - imagine if 6/6 lose MTBs...

Ella back on serve. *6-7.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

That was meant to say another MTB defeat. It's 8-7* now. Come on Ella

seagull · Hall of fame

At last we won one!!

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Yes Ella! 10-8. Great these MTBs, aren't they? ;)

Was going to say if Tara, the most likely on paper to win a match of the 8, could beat her opponent then we'd definitely have a qualifier as the winner of that plays Ella, but Tara has gone from 3-0* to 3-4* in her second set, so that's a long shot.
