Week 7 - ITF W25 - Glasgow, UK, Hard

Some women's matches have started. Sonay 5-2* up, but Freya 1-4* down. The men's matches on Jodie's court must have overran as she's yet to start.

Obviously just personal circumstances, and in some ways starting later is better, but annoying for me as I'm generally in the office from 1-5.30 and will WFH a couple of hours either before or after that, so no chance of being able to watch any of these, unless matches run really late and I can catch the back end (I can at least follow scores, and the odd post on here...). The men's schedule would have been perfect, ha.

The women's matches were a 'not before' 1 pm, though, no?

And most have started quite close to 1 pm.

They're hardly late. Only Jodie's a bit.

But I know it's irritating when you want to watch something and your plans all go pear-shaped.....

I'm fine till 4.30 and then busy.... so would like to get to see Ranah, which seems likely.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Overran probably not the right word, but it was just an observation that she was starting a fair but later in relation to the other two women's matches which were due start at a similar time, and the preceding men's matches on that court must have gone on longer than on the other two courts, but no, makes no real difference to me whether Jodie starts at 1, 2, 2.45 etc. as regardless, it's on during the time I can't actually watch smile

Sonay looks well on her way at the moment, and justifying those 1/12 odds 6-2 3-0*.

Surprised Sonay was so short, given she was playing a top 300 player

Great work by the Kartal forehand, yet again, took care of that match, 6-2 6-1

I was too, but then Siskova has now lost 9 of her last 10 in all comps, and was the underdog twice last week in Birmingham, whereas Sonay was the fave in all her matches last week, bar R1. I was expecting like 1/4 vs 3/1 or 1/3 vs 9/4, plus without checking, Siskova may still have some points from 2019 / early 2020 on her record, but great to see Sonay get another emphatic win against (on paper) a higher ranked player.

Sonay won 6-2 6-1.

Jodie *2-3.

Was 2 & 1 in just over one hour, great win again for Sonay!

What's happened to Freya ? She's just leveled the match against Savinykh - I wasn't expecting that !

Yeah, some nice play in that second set....

I'll have to wait a little longer for Ranah smile

Go, Freya !

Would be fab if Freya could pull that off and then we'd have a guaranteed QFist.

Jodie was *2-5 down, but now *4-5. I did think Pemra was quite big at 2/1 given the H2H, and that Jodie hasn't really being firing on all cylinders this year, but hopefully she can turn the set around and finally get a win over her opponent.

Schwartzman is only around 5 foot 6 and he is top 20...

PaulM · Tennis legend

Jodie recovered well and had 2 break points at 5-5* but missed them. Now down in the tiebreak.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Pemra has had 9 set points, but Jodie takes it on her first 7-6(7). biggrin
