R1: COMPSON, Chloe (GBR) 2 847/1946 v TEIXIDO GARCIA, Ares (ESP) Q UNR/UNR [18yo JCH=270]

Miriambee · Futures level

Shall look forward to this result! 1 single ITF pro-tour winner vs another, despite the differences in ranking.

The Spaniard is (not surprisingly) the big 1/10 favourite. Georgia Drummy is in this field following her W15 title in her last outing in June.

Not a bad effort from Chloe in the second set, but loses 1 & 4 - did get a couple of breaks of serve herself.

My heavens, that's a wonderful win from Emilie! She went 0-2 down immediately in the third set after losing the last 3 games in the second, so lost 5 games in a row. Managed to hold to 2-4 when I last looked and thought oh well this is not going to end well, so for her to win the last 4 games in a row (and 10 points in a row during that) is a remarkable final turn around

I did much the same. At 2-4 in the final set I went to make a cup of tea. When I got back the score seemed frozen at 4-4 so I refreshed it and it jumped to 6-4. smile

Chloe + also lost their doubles 2-6 1-6

Emilie takes the first set 6-2

Michael D · All-time great

One 26 pt game there on Emilie's serve when she had 7-8 GPs and saved a few BPs too, but she eventually held and is now accelerating towards the finish.
... and has now crossed it

R2: LINDH, Emilie (GBR) 6 UNR/191 beat SAMAVATI, Sofia Nami (DEN) UNR/386 CH=1135/369 6-2 6-1

Georgia Drummy, the Irish lass next.... who somehow is a 9th seed, it would seem because the 4th seed is missing, and I assume simply took the 4th seed's place in the draw. This will be a tough match for Emilie

QF: LINDH, Emilie (GBR) [6] UNR/191 vs DRUMMY, Georgia (IRL) [9] UNR/261 Born 2000 (JCH:35 Oct 18)

Looked close for a while, when Emilie broke in the first game of the second set in a marathon game, followed by a hold each to love and then Emilie's long game as noted above. After that it looked straightforward.

DF · Tennis legend

Emilie and partner are through to the doubles SF winning 7-5 6-3
