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

the addict · Tennis legend

OER live rankings has Jodie at WR271 and Katie at WR272, just two points apart. But Katy has 31 points coming off in May, whilst Jodie has none.

I think the extra hour on court and the difference in styles will play right into Jodie's hands.

Looks like it will be a 2pm UK start and the odds are a bit closer than I thought - Jodie 4/6, Katie 11/10. There is a stream scheduled.

Fast start from Katy. *2-0. 10 points to 2.

Jodie has turned it around from *0-3 to *4-3. It was 12-3 Katy in terms of points, but 16-4 Jodie in the last 4 games, so a change in momentum.

Katy saves set points and ends Jodie's 5 games in a row, but a chance for Jodie to serve it out here, *5-4.

On her 8th SP ( 3 at 5-3* and 5 at *5-4 ) Jodie takes it.

Jodie 6-4

Top seed Badosa Gibert took her first set by the same score and was also a break down earlier on.

Katy serving for the 2nd set, *5-3. Jodie getting frustrated.

But Jodie breaks back to 15, so now serving to stay in the set.

Katy with all the momentum now, *2-0 final set.

3-0* - this could run away pretty quickly.

Badosa Gibert has just win her match and will face the winner of this one tomorrow.

flamingowings · All-time great

Katy managing to find some form just in time for grass. Handy. Jodie should definitely get some wildcards too though.
