She served for it at *5-4, saved several break points but didn't have a set point. Had 40-0* in the next game, missed all 3 but did really well to save a game point, reset, get the break again and close it out

Up 3-1* second set.

Harriet broke again only to make what could be a crucial double fault at game point that would have taken her to 5-1*. Marino breaks and holds easily.

*4-3

I love indoor tennis.

Harriet wins 7-5 6-4. In a match that was predominantly on Marino's racket, the Canadian just made a few too many poor errors and missed first serves. Harriet was very quick at the back (Marino still hits a very heavy ball these days) and the backhand in particular struck some beauties down the line.

Does nothing for the ranking but a great win against a player ranked about her. Well done.

Harriet was so dominant but she cannot get over the line for the first set although she has had countless setpoints

Into a first set TB.

Yes, Harriet was up 5-1* and at *5-2 had Adv/SP 6 times in a 22 point game. Lost 5 games in a row for *5-6 and has just survived a tight service game.

Christ on a bike, Harriet makes it so hard on herself.

 Was it Harriet playing poorly though or An Li getting the measure of her

 Harriet allowing An Li to win the point despite huffing and puffing.
