Didn't do enough with the forehand into the corner did she?

Yes. It was such a good serve. Such a short ball. And was too tentative......

And then over corrected on the second and pulled wildly into the tramlines.

I was just waiting for Bet365 to cut the stream before the point ended, but wasn't to be then.

Back in this MTB. *4-5

Yes. But I could live with the second one. The space was there, she can do that shot, she just didn't have her feet in the right place and missed it (as you say, got a bit excited and wild, was moving too much)

But the first was horrid.....

But it's still SO close.....

DF · Tennis legend

Phew! 6-6

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Boulter was obviously expected, but it's 0/4 for the day do far, so hopefully this won't be a thoroughly miserable day for British tennis.

In front for the first time! *7-6. Come on.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

She didn't do a Boluter and celebrate prematurely, but in a great position now.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Oh YES!!!!!!!!!!

From 1-5 down in the TB too biggrin biggrin biggrin

(Mind you bet she was glad for the error from Doi on MP)

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Get in!

1-5 down at the first sit down, wins 10-6. Didn't see that coming during the tie break. Chuffed for her.

DF · Tennis legend

Brilliant!!!!

PaulM · Tennis legend

What a fighter. Thought she played very well, nice and aggressive in the rallies, defended well. Second serve though...

Delighted for her.
