Fran up a break, *4-2.

It's at least 7 games in a row now for Fran. 6-2 *4-0. 10 DFs from Indy including BP on that last game.

It was 8.

Fran wins 6-2 6-0.

KK · Club Coach

2 comprehensive wins against higher ranked opponents in a row for Fran.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Well done both. Both of their potential R2 opponents are currently on court.

Harriet - MDWC Harmony Tan is currently 6-0 *3-0 up on Q Gerlach (who beat Maia in the FQR)
Fran - 3rd seed Samsonova currently 6-4 5-5* with Paquet (on a 10 match pro tour losing streak) who has had a number of SPs to tie it up.

One of these 6 names mentioned will make the SF.

Edit - Samsonova won 6-4 7-6 so plays Fran

Tan won 6-0 6-0 (possibly further emphasising the aforementioned chance missed by Maia, or perhaps something for Harriet to think about)

This will be a very interesting dubs semi-with a former long standing and successful partnership (Beth and Liv) now split on opposite sides of the net!

Konjuh has just beaten last week's winner Kanepi 6-3 in the third of the R1 heavyweight (not literally) match. I'm pleased for her, and perhaps opens up the event a bit?
