I watched from near the end of set 2 and it was good to see a match played at a fast tempo with plenty of attacking intent. Not always well executed, but plenty of potential for Talia to improve.
Although Mimi plays a qualifier next Gabriella Kruger is the second highest ranked WTA player in the draw (456 behind Nikola Bartunkova). Jasmine's opponent got lucky with a w/o against a seed

Shame how Talia collapsed from 3-1 up in the third
Lost five games on the trot
She's a 2005, she should review the recordings from that match, there is a lot to be learnt from that if she wants to
With our two playing non seeds and one of those a qualifier, it would feel like there is a chance of one or the other getting to the last 8, fingers crossed?!
