Breaks back.

Edit - I'm wrong, Katie just held there, so still a break behind. *1-3.

Mainly watching the Kyrgios match.

 No. And it didn't get better. It was OK in patches. And Laura S is quite canny. But definitely a little disappointing. However, the rankings aren't for nothing, it was on the cards.

Katie deservedly beaten 62 64. Didn't look competitive. A real shame as that was by far her worst performance of the grass and it was a super draw.

Katie lost 2-6 4-6, was 3-0 up in the second. Missed opportunity there as she actually started as favourite, so was certainly winnable.

I'm not sure what she entered when her ranking was circa 200, but she'll fall away a bit now after dropping those 60 points from last year. I assume she will try and play those North American ITF events next like Landsville, Lexington etc, but this will probably mean no US Open quals for her now.

With this loss Katie will now end up post Wimbledon with a ranking of about 250. She is now GB #7, and even Maia could feasibly overtake her this week if she reaches the SF in Portugal, though Maia isn't nearly as good a player as Katie is at the moment. This is the problem with this hit or miss nature of the grass season, where the level of tournaments makes it very hard for someone like Katie to have a run.

The worst part is, bar maybe Harriet and the lower end of the qualifiers / lucky losers, on paper, there wouldn't be too many better draws than someone 31, who has had massive injury problems, hadn't played for 4 weeks (where she lost 0-6 1-6), no grass match since 2016, and just secured her direct entry by winning a couple of matches an ITF event days before the cut off. But then yes, she came in outside the top 200 and now outside top 250, so would probably be tough whoever she faced.

Since this is her lowest ranking for over a year, with no obvious big points on her ranking, it could be a chance for her to regroup with maybe a little bit of pressure off her, although I'm probably clutching at strays because you don't get free shots for 60 points against Siegemund (on grass) everyday.

Katie is next due to play in the W60 at Berkeley Wk 15/7. Good to give herself some time over there first to acclimatise and rest up.
