Mimi takes the opening set in a tie breaker. Interesting match up - Jones is seeded 12, but Mimi has gone two places ahead of her in todays rankings. 7-6 feels like a reflection of how close they actually are to each other.

Mimi drops the second set 2-6 with a bucket load of UEs

Mimi breaks at the start of the decider: 7-6(4) 2-6 1*-0

And on cue Kostovic wins. She has a very good record on clay, but rarely plays on hard.

Hannah/Mimi waltz into round 2. Mika should start her singles in about 30 minutes.

Poor Emerson Jones must be fed up with playing GB 14 & 15 year olds. Since the beginning of July: GB15&U 4 Emerson Jones 1

Mika storming back after losing the opener, 5-0 up in the second set and could still break again to head to a decider

Uh-oh, Quevedo finally converts a game point for 5-1 and immediately breaks Mika for 5-2. On deuce in her next service game but does hold to make it 5-3.

Unfortunately, I can't get a stream, legally or illegally, and can only follow the score. If Mika does serve it out, I wouldn't be surprised if she takes a tactical toilet break, assuming the weather is as oppressive today as it was yesterday.

EDIT: She does hold for 6-3

Not to be for Mika, who hit 28 winners today but did make a few more errors than her opponent. Quevedo took it 6-3 in the third.

Pity for Mika but overall very well done here. Still very young, she does seem to be on a good path.

Henry Searle and partner won their first doubles match, in two

Yes. Definitely shown she's not out of place at this level.
