F: Jessika PONCHET (FRA)/ Eden SILVA (GBR) 571 (329+242) beat Jodie Anna BURRAGE (GBR) / Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR) 663 (443+220) 6-3 6-4

Still no breaks and 3-2*
Katy's service games are averaging 10 points a game, whilst Badosa is averaging 6.

Katy is certainly 'playing ball'

And she's getting a lot of support from the crowd too, which is great considering she's in Spain, playing a Spanish girl.

Mind you, Katy's sheer blinkin' grit always endears her to the crowd - that 'get' at 30-30 was just amazing.

Imagine the top seed is still well favourite though...

 

ADD: just crossed with the addict - and, yes, great minds and all that - the crowd's great

Katy finally gets a break point in the twelth game - but it is saved, as is the next. But Badosa double faults on the third, so Katy takes the first set 7-5

Three breaks in a row, and it's *3-1.

We've seen a set and 4-2 leads evaporate before, so hopefully she can get over the line. Would be a superb end to a stunning week.

She's 'on the hill' now, come on Katy!

I tell you what, you don't half miss a scoreboard when it's not there, you can't really dip in and out of the match. There was one earlier in the week.
