She was broken first game, but broke back immediately. *3-3.

3 breaks in a row since that last post. Harriet had 2 GPs to possibly make Mona serve to stay in it, but Mona is now serving for the second set. 6-3 4-5*

Into a decider, Harriet serving first.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

3 long games to start the 3rd set, 2 breaks and a hold - 2-1*

Harriet broke for 3-1, but now back on serve - 3-2*

4-3*. Come on Harriet, just two games away...

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Harriet had 4 BPs, including 3 in a row to break, but Mona held and now *4-4. Hope she doesn't come to regret that.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Barthel now serving for the match 5-6*

Assuming the German does see it out, it's been closer than I was expecting, but at both *3-1 and 4-3 40-0* in the decider, it will feel like one that got away.

Edit - maybe life yet. Back on deuce from 0-40*

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Of course a real pity.

But on the face of it that looks a really encouraging performance first time back in a competitive singles match for 9 weeks and that last one being the double bagel loss to Sharapova at the Australian Open.

Down for the France 60K next week. Onward ...
