A few ugly errors from Jodie on easy shots in an otherwise brilliant performance. Barbora's backhand was occasionally sensational but produced more errors than I was expecting. The Palicova serve was erratic; sometimes her 2nd was an invitation, other times it was faster than her first. Super serving from Burrage 62% winning 85/56 with 9 aces 0 dfs. Saved the one bp she faced with an ace.

Jodie completely ignored my suggestion that she stay away from Barbora's backhand.

Excellent from both girls, Lily exceeding expectations though , Id say.
Vandeweghe is going to be tough next

 Coco lost her only other match this year to Hibino in Auckland. She has hardly played since last summer.

I expect to see both girls progressing to the main draw. Hopefully Katie can follow.
