R2: JONES, Francesca (GBR) 1 170 (CH=167 2021) def PIERI, Jessica (ITA) 260 (CH=205 2018) 6-2 4-6 6-1

After rocketing to *4-0 Fran seemed to lose her way a bit, with a number of errors. Made up for it in the third though.

Beth up next on the same court.

Beth drops the opening set 6-4. Very competitive against a top 200 clay courter.

Does Paquet actually have a backhand ? She seems to be running round to play her forehand at every opportunity.

 Well the backhand came into play in the second set. The play was closer than the score suggests, but it was Beth that just missed the lines and that seemed to make the difference. The umpire was down on the court quite a few times to check marks.

 

ETA:- all 8 seeds have made it to the QF's

Fran has an early break and may be another of our talented female players, closing in on the top 150

Bit of a battle, but Fran finished it off well. An additional 17 points from that win (35-18), and should be worth a rise of around 7 places and a new CH

Good stuff.

Taking into account the assumed dropping of 57 ranking points from last year's WTA Prague 125, Fran is so far down a net 11 points. But that still has her up 5 places in live rankings, up to live 165 which would be a CH.

Yes, OER has taken account of those 57 points dropping (but at the moment hasn't added in today's result). Live-tennis.eu is up to date though with the new CH

Conny got thumped by Beatriz 0 & 2, so the doubles should be on before long - say 16:15 or a bit later.
