Sam underway. Broke to 15 and had *30-0 when I got the stream up so thought the tight turnaround might be working to Sam's advantage, but Paar responded with 4 points in a row.

1-1* 30-0.

Sam had 4 chances to break back (and 3 in a row), but didn't manage it.

*1-2

That first set ran away from her, but has won 3 games in a row and is one game away from a MTB, 2-6 5-3*

Holly on serve, *1-1

Sam has broken to love to take it into that MTB, 2-6 6-3, so it could be Paar letting that set go to save energy and clear her head for the MTB, or hopefully, she is spent physically and Sam can take it.

I'll tune into the MTB.

Sam had 5-4 in the MTB, but Paar has taken the last 5 points. Sam has just saved 1 MP, but 3 more to come.

Sam lost 2-6 6-3 6-10.

They've also moved Laura-Tara off a streamed court. Make a sense for them, but annoying for us.

Michael D · All-time great

Well Sam was 5-4 up in the MTB but then lost 5 pts in a row and lost it 6-10. Good showing but not to be sadly.

Holly in a very close match so far 3-3 after 30 mins and BPs she couldn't take.

Jodie is about to start

Laura and Tara 1-1

Holly *2-3
Laura 1-0*

Michael D · All-time great

Plenty of breaks at the moment. 3 in Laura vs Tara, one more to Laura who currently leads *4-2

Holly also eventually got broken in the first set, but broke back when Noel served for the set, now serving to stay in it *4-5

Jodie also broke to go 2up, but then was immediately broken back, however has broken again, so 3 breaks in 4 games *3-1

Haha, someone is completely blocking the Jodie stream with their hands.

There's an MTO there, not sure who, but after losing two service games in a row suspect Jodie.

MTO for Jodie's opponent (shoulder) who has just broken back 3-2*

Non Brit related, bit Freya's conqueror has raced into a big lead in her match, so perhaps she is playing a lot better than she has these past few months, or it really was a huge chance missed for Freya.

Surprisingly it's Robbe, completely missed that game as the man was blocking it - could well be Alex Ward as Jodie keeps looking up to him. Anyway, the person acknowledged that he's been told he was blocking it, so hopefully that's the end of that.

Holly dropped the first set 5-7 and now Jodie is a break down, 3-4*.

Forgot about Laura-Tara - that's gone to a first set TB, Laura was 5-2 up, but Tara has stormed back and looks to have the momentum, she held to 15, broke to 15, held to love and held to love, whereas Robson had a hold to 40 in reply. Tara also a very early mini break ahead.

Jodie has won 3 games on the spin to take the set 6-4, but it's not too convincing. That break seemed to come from nowhere.
