5-4*. 3 reasonably comfortable holds in a row. Hopefully it's going to be exactly the same as the first set and the crucial break just at the right time...
Yay - Katie breaks to win 6-4 7-5. Not the most brilliant performance but enough to see her over the line. Well done Katie!
Thanks Ace for seeing this match through with me - time for sleep now me thinks!!!
Indeed, perfect timing - if it had went to a third, I doubt I'd be staying up for it.
Good summary there, not vintage, but good enough. A few errors followed by lovely forehand winners, but good serving overall and ultimately enough to beat Perrin. Think she will need to play a bit better to beat Kenin (and Peterson), but 30 points minimum in the bag (to replace 9) and another win at WTA level in a new tournament for her.
