The placement of Jodie's first serve is awful. So many of her first serves are right into Jasmine's hitting zone. The good serves down the T or out wide, really stand out. It was evident in the Nottingham final too when contrasted with Katie Boulter's serves, and other matches on grass recently. Ended up winning 45.8% of her first serve points despite 6 aces (one of which was a 2nd serve ace). 

I'd expect Jasmine to out-perform Jodie in the rallies and that's typically what happened.

The games early in the first set when Jodie had several game points yet still got broken were annoying, especially the game to get broken for 2-4. Jasmine contributed a couple of very good points early in the game but the rest was Burrage errors and two dfs. Jodie did well to save set points then break back for *4-5. A deep 2nd serve save Paolini at 5-5, though Jodie wasted a good chance to set up bp earlier in the game after a super rally, managing to dump an easy forehand into the net after defending brilliantly. Rubbish final game in the first set.

Jodie seemed to be doing ok at *4-1 in the 2nd set but 2 costly dfs in her next service game then Jasmine came up with enough good play to take each game until the end, despite Jodie playing a couple of good points in most of those games. Paoline volley winner to save bp at 4-3* after a well constructed point. 

With the exception of her first serve placement and a few too many dfs, I thought Jodie played reasonably well for her.

Pity. But the Brits have overall done pretty well this grass court season so far.

Great if they could be more consistent, as with most of the women.

Further to earlier discussions about the live ranking sites, it is very generous of OER to have 30 points standing by for Katie B and Harriet being in the L32 here.

Thing is OER, this year it is just a 32 player main draw and they haven't played yet. 55 points if they win their R1/L32 match, 1 point if they lose.
