Just for general interest, Panna is the older sister of Luca, the talented youngster who just beat Sonay in Czech Rep.

I've seen Panna a few times and I'm not overly impressed, so hopefully Harriet can pull it off.

Very solid win for Harriet in the grand scheme of things.

I think she would have been happy with that final set performance from 1-3* down. Very solid, backhand got better the whole match - winners firing down the line in the last few games. Confidence going into tomorrows match, she needs a good week here for a decent end to the season.

 Ahhh, thanks for that CD, I'd been wondering where I'd heard the surname before.

Oh dear. I was a little surprised she was scheduled first on given she was last to finish yesterday, but that can't be an excuse.
