Well, the rest of her game wasn't solid with the other coach, when she stood 1.5 m behind her line and hit nothing but rounded top spin shots - so brilliant to see that's a thing of the past
Well Emmas serve fell off a cliff in that 2nd set. Will need to pick that back up to stand a chance in the 3rd. Haddad impressive in her adjustment to Emmas game.
Laura Robson mentioned she was going to see somebody about her wrist after Indian Wells so I guess it will depend on that. She could very well decide to skip the clay
Pretty much perfect serving from Emma in set one. Pretty much perfect serving from BHM in set two and she cut out the errors. Combined with Emma losing her first serve rhythm it was easy going.
Suspect BHM continues to pull away but some good signs from Emma today whatever happens.
Fun set this. Emma doing a lot of the right things, throwing in a few different balls after allowing BHM far too much rhythm. But the Brazilian just hitting so big.
It would be a shame if she couldn't make Miami where the conditions should suit her far better. Lots of these balls aren't going away which would be clean winners on the East Coast.

Yes definitely I think Emma will take a lot of confidence from her level at this tournament.
Emma playing better in the 3rd, encouraging fighting spirit. Could go either way
I see Liam Broady isnt a fan of the Brazilian questioning if she should have been accepted back on tour so easily. Does seem to be more South Americans in bother in that respect than anywhere else.
Wow Emma looking good here some really hard hitting here from both. The crowd are loving her its fair to say. Pleasing so far if she can hit the ball as hard as that its a good sign fitness wise
