Yes, an inspired tie break from the feisty, aggressive Harriet. Let's try not to think about the result of their previous two meetings where Harriet also won the first set.
I wasn't until you mentioned it there.
C'mon Harriet. Different time, different place ...

Well done Harriet she looks certain to overtake Emma R as British no 1 on that form. Let's hope she can remain that inspired in the future. She knocked all the fight out of the world no 33, she was making Ajla Tomljanovic look pretty pedestrian in the end.

Great by Harriet

Though I certainly wouldn't agree that she looks certain to overtake Emma for GB #1 on that form. Whatever form from Harriet, if Emma is fit going into 2023 I doubt that Harriet will overtake her next year. I'd say that fundamentally (and I hope she gets back more to fundamentals ) Emma is GB's best player by a fair margin and I hope things go much more to plan for her next year. But really for another time.

C'mon Lissey & Liv !!!

Well done Harriet - I did catch the last game and her post match interview , very assured performance from her.

Good luck to the doubles girls !

Big responsibility on the shoulders of newbies Lissey and Liv.

Best of luck smile

Picking Stosur over Perez for this is quite interesting.

Stosur/Sanders won their match while Perez/Sanders lost theirs. Clearly decided to change it after a poor first match.

Who is the elegant women with short blonde hair in the British team?

PaulM · Tennis legend

Claire Curran. Former British number 1 in Doubles and now LTA doubles coach with Louis Cayer.

They are given Sanders way too much time on her forehand.

1-2*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Did really well from *3-5 to 6-5*. Just couldn't get enough on the volley on the first set point to put it away and the Aussies recovered well. And it was not a good tiebreak. Such a shame, especially as Stosur was looking very very shaky.

6-7(1) 0-0*

Tough road back from here. Sanders is just so so good.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Yes, absolutely. Sam was so tight. And two set points for our players.
But, yup, a poor tiebreak..... :(

PaulM · Tennis legend

Stosur gives them a break point with two doubles and a shank, but manages to find a decent first serve at deuce and Liv returns long.

Ooooh, escape that game on deuce with an uncharacteristic balloon return from Sanders.

2-2*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Argh, so close. Liv's volley on the second set point was pretty tricky to get on I think even if she was on top of the net.

5-5*

Yay

Hold on to your hats. MTB time.
