Alicia served for the first set at 5-4. Got broken. But broke again. So second attempt now, at *6-5

Darton is one of those common sort of French women players who plays a LOT of tournaments, she's 21, always here, there and everywhere, and thereby clocks up quite a lot of points overall. Top 500 is reasonably easy. But it's never that scary. There are a lot of R2 and QF losses in there, say. She got to a 25k final recently too, which gave her a big boost.

Lissey had a point for 3-0* but double faulted, went 2-5* down, has retrieved one break.

4-5*

Oh Lord, what a nail biter....

Stomach acid attacks on both camps....

But great news for Lissey

Freya then Lissey this morning following Aidan on the men's side overnight. Some results coming in  

Beth here has a not dissimilar ranking disparity to what Aidan had against Steve Johnson. Go Beth!

Beth takes 12 of the last 14 points and the first set 6-4. Took her first break point at 5-4* (on a DF - the only one in the set) - and didn't have to defend a BP all set.
