But lost the TB 7-6(1) :(

Shame for Lauryn. Was a big opportunity after that superb win in round 1. Knutson is also a US college product (she then did a year at Durham it seems) but this was her first pro singles tournament in 7 years.

 

Well done Liz. This sort of chance to get big points in a weaker edition of a higher level event is so important. These 9 points should basically ensure she is direct into main draws for $15ks for example, which just make such a difference week to week.

Dani did well to go from a break down in the second to serve for it at *5-3, but had a shocker of a service game.

5-4*

Beth 6-1 *3-1 up

Millie well beaten 6-2 6-2 but she's taking away some wins and some points.

Wins for Lissey & Liv, and Emily W-S and Arina - and they will now play each other in the semi-final
