Very comfortable. Great to see. And at least Jaqueline is back on court, been a difficult time for her.

A quick win for Katie. No messing about.

Lissey and Liv cruise through 6-1 6-1 as you would hope with that draw. Nicely done

 60 points for the QF is a slight upgrade on their 11th counters, currently 50 for Liasey and 48 for Liv. Hopefully they can push on this week to much more significant profit

Katie dropped the opening set 6-4. She had the better of much of it, putting far more pressure on Bencic on return than she was facing, but one blip at *4-4 was enough, although she did have two break points at 4-5*

 On one of those breakpoints she got a weak second serve but dumped the return in the net.  Those are the opportunities I feel you have to take at this level if you are to win matches, as I agree there is very little between these two.
