Not that the others are complete chopped liver but....
Harriet should have had a double break - she fluffed some BPs in the middle of the set, when she was well the dominant player, that could prove costly. But very close....
NB Harriet's drop shots are about her worst shot...
What happened? I did not see Katie as a winner through nearly all of that match
I think the Slovakian forum will say that their player choked at the end. And they'll have a point.
But Katie did her bit !

She had 1 shocking service game in every set but Katie was a different player the last 4 games of the match. I genuinely didn't think she would finish the match at 5-5 in the 1st set and I still suspect she might have retired if she lost that set

Harriet unfortunately blown that set. She had all the chances she needed at 4-2* and she shouldn't have been broken at *4-3. But now looks absolutely done in having seen it slip away, culminating in a terrible tie break which she loses 7-1.
I know she's a fighter but unless she gets a bit of help from the heavens it's tricky to see how she recovers this one.
