Extremely pleased for Alice - I've always had a soft spot for her

Imogen's was the only loss that was really a 'what if' moment........hers was the match that hurt.

Although Ranah's was the next closest and was also a shame - she really had the ability to win the match (unlike Eliz and Hep, say, who were both outclassed, although they put up good showings).

I didn't see the first set (where Kat presumably got blown away as she lost 1-6)

But have seen most of the second

Which Kat has won 6-2

Lots of words and arm waving again from Emma L. She's like a female version of John McEnroe.

I think she might have had a point about that backhand down the line though.....

A couple of long rallies and Kat has just crumpled to the floor, with a shriek - it looks possibly like cramp - hopefully......

Not a bad effort from Barnes. Perhaps it's just the viewing angle, but she seems a bit more lithe compared to when I saw her play a couple of years back. She's come close to a ranking point in recent months, with many wins now in ITF qualifying, so it can't be far off.

Hannah is now warming up in her match.

Hannah has kicked off very well

Leading 4-1

Although the camera is placed down the central service line and Hannah has just served a ball down the T that was about 4 inches out - and it was called in

Unbelievable

Barnes seems very good at hitting corner to corner and used it to great effect in the 2nd but she clearly had a problem in the 2nd half of the final set when she collapsed on the floor several times and lost her service twice.

a topsy-turvy set for Hannah

Who raced off to a 5-1 lead, playing attacking fluid tennis

Then got pegged back to 5-4 as Ozgen made herself tricky to beat and Hannah made a few errors

And then broke Ozgen to love to take the set 6-4

Three is better than predicted and only Eliz a slightly surprising defeat.

 Yes a disappointing defeat for Eliz who is on a bit of a losing streak. Loss yesterday was against her doubles partner. She needs points in October and November or will suffer a significant drop.

Excellent match

Hannah has super focus, really keeps her mind on what she's trying to do, and seems to relish the struggle

You can see her 'learning' during the match too - sliced passing shots that would be fine in juniors just never going to work against Ozgen so after two or three of those she changes it up

Enjoyed that

Think the ranking points from this might push Hannah into the top 1000?

 Live WTA ranking has her at 978.

 Kat has 2 counters - 4pts here and in a 25k, so one more counter will get her a ranking.
