Oh Sonay! Did well to save the match points, absolutely had it at *6-6 but either a lapse in judgement or lack of awareness of her opponents positioning and she hit the drive volley right to her, and Sramkova just whipped it for an easy pass.

Gutted.
Yes. And she'd done that on another shot where she took it out of the air too (and got away with it) - just hit it the wrong side, no idea where her opponent was...
Overall, the score was fair - it was as tight a match as I've seen for ages - both players played pretty high level tennis I thought (it was clear that the Czech woman used to be far higher ranked), Sonay did well, BUT if I'd had to give it to one of them, I'd have chosen the Czech woman

Actually Sramkova is Slovakian
But with so many ova's in Bath this week (seven in the main draw alone and only three of them are Czechs) it's pretty confusing.
By coincidence I had just been looking at the order of play to see when the doubles might finish and had just noticed the four Ova's in the match following Eden/Maia
