PaulM · Tennis legend

Ella has 40-0* in the final game to stay alive, loses the next 5 points and the match 6-3 6-4.

It was alright, but that's 7 losses in a row in the pros.

Densher · Intermediate Club Player

Is Hannah always this temperamental? Some very un-ladylike utterances from her during this set (I almost dropped my monocle)

Grachka · County player

Hannah pegged back but still playing some good stuff, and just held for 5-4*.

She was penalised in a junior competition for err un-ladylike utterances.

Densher · Intermediate Club Player

0-40 and three set points for Hannah...

PaulM · Tennis legend

All missed. But does well to reply with a solid hold for 6-5*

Beth 5-0*

Densher · Intermediate Club Player

Hannah now been given a 'soft warning' by the umpire for conduct

Grachka · County player

Unfortunately then lost five points in a row (a couple of excitable errors down the line on a couple of the SPs). She's just threw in a couple of formidable serves to hold well though.

Beth also picks up where she left off.

Grachka · County player

I missed most of the tiebreak as the feed dropped out, but very impressively Hannah has taken it 7-6(4) and we're into a third. Beth also collects her bakery product.

.... and that appears to be it for the day

paulisi · Tennis legend

Hannah took the tie break quite comfortably as Lesley's levels dropped

If Hannah is to win this, then she needs to make more first serves.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Well, looks like play's ended for the day

Great wins by Mimi and Talia

Didn't expect Jasmine to win; Maia and Ella had outside chances but not that likely, maybe the same for Ranah

Had hoped Marni would do better than that - it's the only actually disappointing result

And great adult grass debut by young Hannah - into a third set against a woman who came through Wimbledon qualifiers and made the second round this time last year !

(And allez, Beth)

PaulM · Tennis legend

Hannah is doing very well but her team needs to nip some of this behaviour stuff in the bud, now. Embarrassing for a 14 year old to be getting unsportsmanlike conduct warnings ('soft' or otherwise) and totally unnecessary.
