Yes. Love the idea that they were just hanging around and thought - ok, there's a slot, why not? Or someone in the admin office saw there was the withdrawal and gave Notts tennis coach a call and said, do you have anyone who fancies a game?

Maia is *4-5 down in her final set having been an early double break up at *3-0.

Maia is beaten by the 4th seed by 6-4 3-6 6-4.

Shame but there do look to be encouraging signs.

jb288 · Satellite level

Ah poor Maia - but fantastic to see her back competing really well and seemingly healthy.

Over in the doubles, some good net play from both Sonay and Freya going on

Christine · Intermediate Club Player

Oh, gutted for Maia, didn't get the chance to watch any of the match, but wanted her to win so much

indiana · Tennis legend

Good net play from Sonay? Yay

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I couldn't watch Maia, after the victory thrown away last week, as 5-2 up or something like that. I saw she was leading in the third set 3-1 (I think) and just thought - oh no.....

But, yes, there are more important things and getting through a tough three-set match, and running it close, is an achievement in itself.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

I do wonder if Naiktha may have some feelings about calling it a day in the not too distant future. If she were to sift to a regular 400-500 player, while that's still great in the general scheme of things, to be among the best 500 women in the whole world in a given field, and some of our 700/800+ players would love to in and around those positions, for someone who had a bit of hype early on (like that BBC video when 7), someone who has (just) been inside the top 200, someone who has had a lot of WCs (presumably switching nationality to get a top up) and a fair bit experience of playing in bigger events, I'm not sure I see her sticking around if that ends up being her natural level, which is looking the case when you see her record over the past 2 and a half years or so, and that she's lost 66% of her matches this year, only winning 4, and none of these recent defeats seem a surprise.
