Did Tara not have a double handed backhand in the past??

 I think so - I noted her single-hander when I saw her playing Nottingham.

Eden wins 6-4 7-5!!!!

That's such an impressive win - and one I didn't see coming at all.

Friedsam was nothing like the level you'd expect, but Eden was very clever in the way she played and well worth the win.

Her one and only ace on match point.

I had a feeling Tara would win, but that's a massive scalp for Eden Silva! Did anyone see the match? I've always felt she could achieve more in singles than she has.

 Saw some of it. And, yes, she has what I've always thought of as a very elegant game. And does well on grass (remember cheering for her like mad in wimbly qualis against Pigossi, when Eden was coached by Dan Cox - wonder who's coaching her now?)

She loves coming into the net - not always very wisely but it certainly destablises her opponents. And her groundshots are very fluid.

Not sure Eva's match will start - they've just begun the third set in the match before hers. Unless there's a spare court, of course.

 Court 13 has just finished - the only viable one if they wanted to squeeze it on today.

Fantastic results for Eden and Tara - both defied massive gaps in the rankings to overcome much higher ranked opponents. When you look at the bookies' odds for both matches, it shows what upsets the results were.

People watched the match - I assume it was via betting sites; I was only aware of BBC coverage?
