Week 18 - ITF (W60) Les Franqueses des Valles, Spain Hard

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

A slight scare, but first set in the bag, 6-3. MTB minimum for her now.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

And it's looking like it will be a MTB. 0-4*, so 6 of the last 7 games for the Spaniard spanning the 2 sets.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

MTB it is and a second in a row for the opponent. 6-3 2-6 0-0*

the addict · Tennis legend

Em about to start, and there's a stream.

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

Katy gets a qualifier
Jodie gets 2nd seed Ponchet

Olivia Nicholls is also here in the doubles with Jodie.

Eden has gone from 2-4 to 8-6 in the MTB, hopefully she can get over the line.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

*9-8 to *9-9 at the changeover. Not sure what the score scenario was from 8-6 though and whether she has had 1, 2 or 3 MPs.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

She did have 3 MPs in a row at 9-6* :(

But here's a 4th. 10-9*

And that's saved as well. This could hurt...

She saved one at *10-11, but has had a 5th at 12-11*,

12-12* now at the next changeover. Awful for either losing this type of match where you have and face MPs simultaneously.

Come on Eden.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Over the line! 14-12, think that was her 6th MP.

Important win and let's see who she gets in the main draw.

Edit - wins 6-3 2-6 14-12 biggrin

That's a shame for Jodie, I was hoping she could have done some damage in this field and picked up some big / valuable points.

Still, hopefully Tara is still in Ponchet's mind and I'd definitely favour Jodie over Katy if someone had to face her and Jodie has of course beaten 4 higher ranked players in the past 2 or 3 months, but obviously could have been far far better.

Michael D · All-time great

Well, good to see Eden over the line, tight as it was. She'd have been furious after so many MPs, so glad and relieved she made it.

Don't think Emily will join her though, as she is 5-1 down 1st set.

Bandecchi is absolutely clobbering the ball.

Em down 1-6 *2-4 but scrapping away best she can. She's playing doubles with her nemesis Bolkvadaze. I'd half hoped her good friend Dabrowski who is here to play singles might have wanted some more court time.

Nemesis biggrin
