Goodness, Matilda was 4-2 up, and then collapsed. The next point was very well played by Eala, but she then played two horrible points, and then two poor ones. :(
Yes, the one at 4-3 was one that she would be kicking herself with.
To be honest, while I know most of her recent ITF defeats were against some at least 2 years old, far older in some cases, and Eala is younger, I was kind of expecting a routine straight sets defeat here, so really good that it is very competitive, but just a shame that she let that little lead slip. Hopefully she'll come back fighting in the decider.
