That's an excellent win for Jodie against an in form player. She and Fran were my hopes for 2021and so far neither is disappointing.
Fran has stolen the limelight somewhat with her AO qualifying run but if Jodie keeps improving the media will no doubt go with the sporting power couple angle regarding her Rugby playing boyfriend.

Who is her rugby player boyfriend?

Jodie needs to start playing up a level this year.

Fran has the backstory as well, particularly inspirational.

Thank you.

Jodie should have won the first set, but failed to get the breaks at 4-3* and 5-4*. Then it all ran away and she lost the set 7-5, some of which was down to over-hitting. If she can keep her head, she can still win this as she is the better player.

Jodie fighting hard, nothing to chose from these 2 but she has saved atleast 2 match points and now broken back for 5-5 2nd set
