Scholsen recent results:

Glasgow W25 - beat Sasha on a MTB, lost to Albie R1
Lost in Russia W25 FQR
Lost to Freya 4 and 3 in Russia W25 Q1
Qualified for Bolton, but lost to Kalinskaya in R1
Lost in Sunderland R1
Qualified and made L16 in Germany (think a W60)
Lost 2 and 1 to Ozgen in Obidos W25 R1 last week

Mandy should be reasonably OK with that, and if she does win, she'll face an unspectacular IR in R2.

The match between those aforementioned IRs has just begun and I might have actually sold Orpana a bit short as she's had some decent results since her UK double. She's an immediate break up on Payola, who really is unspectacular, and it'll be the Finn who will be the most likely opponent for whoever wins tomorrow.

No Brits playing doubles today, but one result anyway

L16:- Sarah Beth GREY (GBR) / Olivia NICHOLLS (GBR) 383 (192+291) [1] "defeated" Victoria ALLEN (GBR) / Mallaurie NOEL (FRA) UNR (961+UNR) WALKOVER

Well, I'm assuming that's Noel rather than Victoria. It wouldn't surprise me if Noel was carrying something during her match with Mandy, or at least aggravated something during the match. Victoria's time in Obidos has also been chastening, having picked up 0 points from her two singles outings.

Em 0-3*

Missed a game point then a break point at the start. But two more break points here

*1-3

the addict · Tennis legend

Em gets the second break back *4-4

And another break takes the set 6-4 *0-0

Michael D · All-time great

A good first set recovery for Emily from being 0-3 and 2-4 down. Wins the last 4 games, including a mammoth 16pt 9th game on her serve, to win the set 6-4

Em served for the match at 5-3, but then lost a whole string of points to go 5-6* down. Couldn't take three break points in the last game, so it's into a third set.

PaulM · Tennis legend

It was 5 break points in the final game of that set. Sanchez took her first set point.

Difficult road back.

Emily served for it at *5-1 and was two points away at 30-15 but couldn't close.

Now back on serve 5-4*

Just can't get it over the line. This will really hurt.

Three hours and 12 minutes - and counting. And Mandy is next on court.

Michael D · All-time great

Heavens, I sore the score at 5-1 and expected Em to have won by now, so was shocked when I looked again that she had let a good lead slip second set in a row. Only won 3 points collectively in the two service games where she was serving to win the match.
