Well done that girl. As K said stream stopped just before last point so I guess none of us know quite how she took that match point.
My stream kept going for the match point. My recollection was that it was a conservative rally of perhaps 8 or 10 strokes ending with a poor UE from Galfi, leaving the Hungarian visibly frustrated
Congratulations Katie! I saw Dalma beat Jodie at the Ilkley challenger last summer. She is a really good player so hopefully it should set Katie up for some more matches!

Oh brilliant, thanks so much. So we didnt miss a stunning winner from Katie. So glad she made it in 2.
Front-running to take the 1st set, then clawed back to draw level in the 2nd before three clutch service games to take it to a tie-break. A very impressive start to the tournament by Swan.
