LordBrownof · Futures level

Katie takes the first set 6-4

SuperT · Futures level

The scoreboard seems to have frozen now so I'm not sure what's going on - except Katie just lost her serve.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

6-4 6-4 to Katie

The Bet365 site had the right score - not sure how -

Peter too, the ITF site has RIVERA CORADO, Maria Gabriela down as from GUA (ie.Guatamalan)

I was really impressed with RIVERA CORADO's tennis in that match, she's a real natural. A fabulous service action, and seem to be able to retrieve any ball with one of a wide variety of shots. She lacks a little bit of power, and that's where Swan had the edge, but it was far from one-way traffic in the match. There were many entertaining rallies. Additionally, it seemed Swan was struggling a bit today, especially in the middle section of the match.

Sorry, I copied it from Indiana without checking. Now corrected.

A very wise choice by Katie to play here and it's really paying off.

I'll concede Guatemala and raise you that Katie is only through to the L16 so far. It was a 48 main draw.

DF · Tennis legend

Katie S is a set down 1-6

Nix · Futures level

Goodness knows what happened in the first set but Katie now looking very comfortable at 5-1 up in the second set.

DF · Tennis legend

One set all 1-6 6-1

Hope that the third set is a repeat of the second.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, from BP against at *1-1 in the second set Katie's certainly got motoring. And has now broken at the start of the third set.

*1-0
