Alice seemingly lost her match against the Chinese top-10 youngster in two quite tight sets.

Naithka is back to 4-4.......

Ola is currently on that court, so we can assume she lost, but a decent effort as CD says.

Tie break at best for Naiktha.

 Bizarrely exactly the same thing happened to the scoreboard last week at Woking when Alice lost in two long sets to Lee! Perhaps the board is an Alice fan and doesn't believe she can ever lose!

Looks like another rain break..........

Yeah, it was Naiktha the big disappointment today. While you still hope, any sets won by the other 3 would have a decent return.

So 4 through, not too bad, probably par, or maybe slightly below when you consider 2 were seeds, 1 guaranteed win and then, while contested, Emily was still a pre match fave, so did have a good chance of winning. Alicia also had a decent chance, and proved it, while the rest would have caused an upset if they won. Any less than 4 would have been pretty poor.

Good luck to them all, and at least we will have interest on Friday again.

So looking like just Sam for the singles QF. But let's hope for more.

Final first round results then, extraordinary from Naiktha, she seems to have suffered a Samson like effect since rejoining GB.
