Phew. They really were in a nip and tuck battle. Struggled to hold serve but recovered from *0-40 to serve out the second and then pulled clear from 6-5* in the MTB.

And kudos to Topalova for that effort after winning her singles in 3 hours earlier in the day.

Beth and Lily recovered from a set down and miles behind in the MTB to get a match point, but missed it and lost.

Ach that's a shame. But nice to see Sof back after what I think has been a tricky few months, and Em being there supporting her return to competition. Hopefully can go a little further next week.

Yes, they are both on the entry lists for the next two weeks in Sozopol.
