It was tight but that's a lovely win for Alice, against a WTA ranked player

This is a really fantastic, hugely battling win by Alice. The whole match was 3hrs 11 mins. In the second set Coppola served for the match at 4-5*, but Alice broke her back and then went onto win the TB. Then in the 3rd set Alice as 1-4 down, before winning the last 5 games in a row to take the match! Such a shame that that kind of performance does not garner a single WTA point at all!!

Darn, I thought Alice had that one. She won the first set, nearly won the second and was a break up in the third.

But ended up losing:

6-2 5-7 4-6

She couldn't hold her serve unfortunately in the last two sets - had just one hold in the second set and none in the third set.
