Ranah's opening service game went to a double deuce but it's quite useful if you apparently serve 5 aces!

1-0*

Went an early break down but pegged her back and now very even.

Loeb USA 4-4* Stoiber GBR

 She's certainly been serving a dream - it's as though her coach told her she had to go big today

That was a good set Ranah! As others have said, really solid big serving. Liked her confidence coming forward too.

Tight first set ends with Ranah taking a tight tiebreak, after a couple of loose errors from Loeb at 5-5 in the breaker.

Loeb USA 6-7(5) *0-0 Stoiber GBR

A brilliant set of tennis from Ranah, given the level and the event

I mean you always hope the kids will come out and perform like that, but what a joy to see it!

So good, so confident. Loved how she didn't beat herself up on missing the break points at 4-2*.

Excellent win over an experienced pro. Well done!!

Just such a star performance !

Agree with you, Paul - looked so happy to go for her shots, to engage in the battle, not over-awed or backing off

Just SO happy for her......

Enjoyed that match. Great effort by Ranah - huge serving. looking very good for Wimbledon.

 Yes, the serve made it for her today. Loeb looked quite bewildered at times. As said, she really went big on it - wonder if it was deliberate or just instinctive. 

This is an adult ranking for her now, no?

I assume Ranah will have a WTA ranking after her recent exploits. It looks as if we may have the makings of a BJK cup team in a year or two's time. smile

Another clean and confident set, this time from Anna. Volynets is really rather poor and Anna is doing her thing nicely.

19 points ( 13 MD + 6 Q ) so far for Ranah will not only give her a WTA ranking but is probably enough to just slip into the top 1000.
