It's P Lee next for Maia, who beat Hourigan as an underdog. She's ranked outside the top 700 and has more success on the doubles scene. She was over here for the Bolton/Sunderland double and didn't make it through quals, and lost in straight sets to K Pitak, so you'd like to think we'd have 2 in the QF here.

Eden and Beth have played only once before and 5 years ago now, with Beth winning then. Eden will be favourite this time.

Probably rather worthy of mention that if Maia was to win the tournament ( and she is the #2 seed ) she would move up to precisely 250 ranking points on 29/07 ( the rankings date that the US Open qualifying list is based on ). She's on the entry list for another Portugal 25K next week so this week will be her last counter towards that list.

250 points is currently equivalent to about WR 230 so would look to be in the Q list ballpark. If runner-up here she would be on 230 points, currently equivalent to around WR 245.

Just adding 5 ( net 4 ) points so far for her R1 win should probably be enough to see her take out her CH 266.

The top seed lost in the first round, so she is now the highest ranked. Long way to go and assuming she can get past her opponent today, Gervais could be tough in a potential QF, but it would be great if she could win it and take that potential Q spot from out of nowhere. It looks like Bucsa just sneaked into Wimbledon at 241, but of course there were 5 MDWCs not used which certainly wouldn't happen here, and if there were any fitness doubts, some might be more likely to withdraw from the grass where they might not have played as opposed to the more neutral hard with the ample hard court North American ITF and WTA events in the lead up to it, so I'd imagine your #230 would be a more realistic cut off here, and she'd therefore have to take the title to have any chance.

Probably end up losing to Lee now...

That early break proved enough, 9 holds and SBG takes first set 6-4.

That was so tight - only one point in it, I think.

I reckon Eden will get the second set.....

Beth rather handed that set to Eden, with 3 DF in the crucial 8th game. Saved 3 set points in the 9th, but not the 4th

Eden picking up momentume again from 0-2* to lead *3-2

Ironically after the first and second sets being mostly holds, the 3rd set has been all breaks so far - 5/7 games, with Eden the 3/2 lead in the breaks.
... and after being 40-15 up Eden struggling to hold again, but eventually does and is now just a game away 4-6 6-3 5-3*

Well done, Eden. She gets the third set, 6-4.

Always a shame when one Brit has to lose. But it looks like a good battle.
