Katie had a couple of MPs in Gervais' last service game but couldn't convert. She'd since held, so hopefully will get another chance here and avoid the TB. 6-5*

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Deciding set TB it is 6-2 3-6 6-6. 92 points to 90.

The tie break was more comfortable and Katie is over the line. Yet more French opposition next (although about 80% of the draw is French) and 6th seed Albie. smile

6-2 3-6 7-6(2)

Michael D · All-time great

That was a good performance by Gervais, but good to see Katie get through. Albie could be a similar scrap with Albie herself having been in two tight wins so far.

R16: Katie SWAN (GBR) [1] 169 beat Julie GERVAIS (FRA) 397 (CH:395 April 19) 6-2 3-6 7-6(2)

QF: Katie SWAN (GBR) [1] 169 vs Audrey ALBIE (FRA) [6] 315 (CH:284 March 18)

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Good to see her get the win. Onwards and upwards.

It seems to be raining in France so Katie's match will be delayed. The match before hers was suspended after the first set.

Katie underway, *0-1

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

These two are actually the only seeds and top 400 players left in the draw following Tan's retirements just before, so a big opportunity for both.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Dropped the first set 3-6. She had an early break at *2-1.

A lot of work to do now, broken to love in the 2nd set 2-3*

Albie has won 15 of the last 17 points so Katie is going to have to do a mini Tara to rectify it, which sadly you can't really see.

3-6 2-5*

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

A hold to 15 and lost 2-6 3-6.

57 points to 34.

Hmm disappointing from Katie. She's still in the doubles though, with a bye into the DF.

Think just a w/o into the SF. The other 3 doubles QFs are on today's schedule.
