A bit of trivia but Francesca and Naiktha were both born in Leeds. 

 Fran is in fact from Oxenhope near Haworth which is keighley as much as Leeds. Haworth Main Street is the famous Hovis hill, from the adverts, the steep cobbled street that they used in the tour de France when it came hear in 2014. Lovely countryside, keighley not so lovely though !

 I got the Leeds bit from Wikipedia so not 100% reliable.

A titanic second game of the second. Half a dozen break points saved by Lu incredibly strongly, but Fran doesn't let her head drop and finally gets through

6-0 *2-0

8 games to love ! When I said two close sets earlier, I had in mind Fran losing the odd game !

Could be a big moment there. Early break in the 2nd set, on about her 5th BP, and a number of deuces.

6-0 *2-0

Fran vocal.

Incredible. A lesson to everybody that you should never let anybody tell you that you can't do something.

Well done Fran. That was over so quickly I missed large parts of the match, just saw the beginning and end
