Em's match has started, and there is a stream.

Em drops the first set 6-2. Think she'll be a little frustrated by that, had break points in the third game, a game point in the fourth and another in the final game there.

Hadn't heard of the Spanish girl before, but she was progressing up the ranks nicely before the pandemic with some good wins. This is only her second event since the restart. Nice game, tall.

She's also playing with great depth, and finding the corners. Em showing a lot of variety - right fro the start there was serve and volley, chip and charge and dropshot/lob. Becoming more of a baseline slog now though.

Second set a bit of a disaster, but to be honest I'd much rather she was picking up wins on the doubles court this week than in singles qualies.

Mandy lost the MTB 13-11

PaulM · Tennis legend

She was absolutely out of it at 2-6 *0-2 break point down, astonished she won the second set. She never had a match point in the MTB but still ansore one after a big effort to get back into it.

A shame. I did tune in for the tie break and she had a decent lead early on, double mini break up at one stage I think, but then was hanging on towards the end, and saved a couple of MPs (and didn't have any herself).

I didn't see any of the main sets, which were split 2-6 6-4.

Two byes in the draw ! Twenty points to the winners.

Em and You were one point out of a seeded place, but actually this is a better draw than the 4th seeds got, and they would play them in the QF if they get through. You is on a 10 match singles losing streak, but has had some doubles success this year.

Wild Card for Fran

L32:- Marina Bassols Ribera (ESP) 328 [Q] v Francesca Jones (GBR) 188 [WC]

Ten points for the winner here.

MDWC for Fran as Miriam said in the entries thread. Not sure if she's based there, but good of them either way. Plays a Spanish qualifier in R1.

You won a 60k earlier this year, so promising choice of partner.
