Emilie and Alicia served for the match at 5-4 and 6-5 in the second set, and led the tie-break 6-4 - and it went downhill after that.

L16:- Jasmine Conway (GBR) / Kira Pavlova (RUS) UNR (JR159+JR91) def Maelys Bougrat (FRA) / Lola Marandel (FRA) CR2509 (876+1633) 6-4 6-4

As far as I can tell that was Jasmine's first ITF doubles match so a 100% record.

She did play doubles as a Junior BC (before covid). I didn't get round to looking up the junior rankngs, but she is JR159 this week (CH=80) amd Kira is JR92 (CH75)

She only served five in the whole set. It was four out of five serves in a row from the same side (not sure if it was deuce or ad court)

But, as said, at least they know what to work on, then....
