Was going swimmingly (broadly) to a set and a break up, then found themselves a break down and had to save 5 set points, but got it done in 2.
6-3 7-5

I know the feeling Paul !

Lily lost 2-6 4-6

Beth led 6-3 3-1*, now into a third set...

6-3 4-6 0-0*

DF · Tennis legend

Beth also lost 6-3 4-6 2-6

PaulM · Tennis legend

Beth broke for *2-1, then missed points for 3-1* and *3-2

Long run of losses now. Hope she can turn it round in the weeks ahead. Some big points to try and defend in the near future.

I thought Beth's match would be close as her opponent wsn't ranked much below her. I did think Lily would win fairly easily though, so a big disappointment.

Lily's poor run particularly disappointing after breaking into the Top 200 earlier in the year.
