There's an Amanda stream if anyone is interested, although there's currently no scoreboard.

Playing well. There's a stream on the same site as the other day if anyone wants to see the second (and hopefully final) set.

Winner plays Tauson tomorrow who beat fellow 17 year old Zheng 6-0 3-6 6-4 earlier.

Many thanks again, AV - and to anyone who puts up a stream site.

Just caught 5 mins of Mandy, thank you.

I've had it on for most of the day, just in the background while WFH, but it seems far more watchable than a normal ITF stream, like a nice setting or something.

Saw a couple of upsets as TA mentioned on the previous page including a Spaniard who has lost a few time to Brits in GB ITF W25 qualifying - she beats a 20 year old ranked just outside the top 200 today, but then lost to Danielle Daley a few months ago at either Sunderland or the event a week before (Glasgow maybe), I guess she might prefer clay. Was wanting to see Tauson-Zheng but that was the only QF not on centre court today.

Not so efficient on BPs in this set with 2 out of 9 converted. I think she missed out on quite a few in that last game so didn't get to serve for the match.

6-2 *4-4

That Gutierrez Carrasco, ranked 539 (with recent losses to Daley and Rajecki), has just made the final beating the 8th seed, so she is having a great week putting out 3 seeds in a row.

Amanda and Clara should be underway soon, and hopefully on that previous link.

Underway now, Amanda serving, and on that Facebook link at the top of this page.

Dipped in for a fews in time to see Mandy break to go 3-1 up in the first set.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Tauson won the next 5 games following Pocky's post to take the first set 6-3, and then won the second 6-4. Amanda was *4-3 up in the second, so in a good position in both sets (although serving generally doesn't seem to be too much of an advantage for her this week).

So a very good win yesterday, and a decent effort today against a very good youngster, but no countable points to show for her efforts, and these 4 points will match her lowest counter.
