LOL at Bouncy not realising that 3rd set tiebreaks go to 10 despite the fact that Beth's match was on just a few hours ago

I'm surprised he can remember his kids' names....

Yes, not a bad effort for a 14 year-old

But she might be a little disappointed, all the same

Yes, given Chang arrived yesterday evening I did hope for a surprise but never mind. Very surprised about Ella so far, in a good way!

Grachka · County player

Ella keeping her nose in front.

Vandeweghe 5-7 6-1 *3-4 McDonald

Anna fought her way back into the first set but then lost it fairly convincingly in the breaker.

Sanders 7-6(2) 1-0* Brogan

And Ranah dropped the opening set too:

Stoiber 3-6 1-1* Zavatska

PaulM · Tennis legend

Anna did great to recover from *1-5 to 6-5*, but yeah a poor tiebreak.

Ella clinging on brilliantly, although Coco is a mix of sublime and ridiculous.

Ella has match point lol

Cocoa replied with 3 straight aces. 5-5. Final set

Errors give Ella a match point at 5-4*, huge ace to save it. And another. And another.

*5-5

Grachka · County player

Ella actually had a match point on the Vandeweghe serve, but three great serves got Coco out of the hole

Vandeweghe 5-7 6-1 5-5* McDonald

Anna has also got a foothold in the second set

Sanders 7-6(2) 1-2* Brogan

But Ranah now facing an uphill battle:

Stoiber 3-6 2-4* Zavatska

Grachka · County player

Great hold from Ella under pressure in that game.

Vandeweghe 5-7 6-1 *5-6 McDonald

PaulM · Tennis legend

Yeah jeezo Coco that was a mess. Great ace to finish it for Ella though and guarantee herself a tiebreak.

C'mon Ella ! And Anna and Ranah !

Really hope we can eek out at least one more win.

Although, like with the guys, our players are almost all WCs and heavily outrankd I do really think enough had been shown at times by most of our women players to encourage I think not unreasonable predictions of success today.

Unfortunately it hasn't quite happened so far, save with Beth.

Let's though finish the day in style, please.

Ella battling so hard from 9-2 to 9-8

Couldn't quite get over the line, such a shame.
