I know I'm a bit biased but, whether she wins or loses, I've been bowled over with how well Hep can play on grass, for a 14 year-old, against a top-150 or so player.

She's really solid, gets a lot of acceleration, slices well, uses her leftiness - very encouraging

ADD: well done to Lily too, very neat.

And rain stops play....

A welcome win for Katie B, about to lose R2 points from Wimbledon last year so the more the better.

 She's also defending 60 points here.

Very impressed by Hep although I have a long running 'meh' towards Tessa.

Good performances all round.

Think Golubic is the highest ranked non-seed?

Bit of a shame for Hep that the rain came when it did - Tessah's a bit of a headcase and all the momentum was with Hep at the time, you'd have said she easily the favourite to take the second set, but Tessah's camp will now have had time to take her in hand and get her back on track.

However, it might have helped Naiktha as she'd just lost the first set

Either way, it seems that covers are now coming off

Not the best of draws for Emma .

She will have to play well to win that .

 Indeed that's some draw to get for her opening grass match of the season.

Golubic is ranked just one place lower than the #8 seed Linette WR 52 and reached the Eastbourne QF last year as well as that Wimbledon QF, with some good looking wins at both.

What a forehand to set up set point from Hep! A bullet!

After clinging on to her serve at *4-4 she breaks to 30. Wow.

Brilliant - as you say, PaulM, really struggled in the first few points, looked to have lost all her rhythm, and then suddenly started connecting again.

Allez, Hep !

Think she used up all her energy at the end of the second. Tailed off badly but what a debut at this level. Impressive.

Naiktha broken serving for the second set.

Couldn't watch the third set but great that, overall, she put a really good performance out there

Naiktha did eventually win the second set but went two breaks down in the third. She has just recovered one of the breaks.

4-6 7-5 *2-4
