That's a nice ticket for Glasgow promoters

It won't be too long until Hannah is back on court: she has a doubles scheduled for later with Lacy; they are playing Mariam Bolkvadze (who seems to be converting to a doubles specialist after her shoulder surgery earlier this year) and Lily Miyazaki. Lily has to finish playing Emily Appleton first.

Also worth mentioning we have a decent chance of at least one GB semi-finalist on both sides of the draw: if Brogan can overcome Ryser (admittedly this may not be easy, Ryser has been very good so far), she will meet either Banks or Dart; or one of Banks/Dart could defeat Ryser assuming she beats Brogan. I'm getting a little ahead of myself here though...

Yes. The start of the match was quite tight. Anna had break points. It looked quite interesting. And then it all moved in the Swiss player's favour..... hmm

but Anna now 5-1 up second set

Marni has given a walkover.

Anna got the second set over the line in the end. Playing a bit better and it wouldn't take much for her to dominate this really, just a few too many silly errors and odd decisions still.

Real shame. But with her history of back issues, she doesn't want to force it.

And at least it's a Brit who gets the benefit

Didn't see it but great to see that Anna got the second set - allez !

If Anna can keep going we will have five Brits in the QF and two or three in the SF.

Disappointing from Anna not to break in that game. Silly errors on weak looking 2nd serves.

Anna wins 6-4 in the third. She did really well to hold onto that break in the final set. Well done!

Excellent job by Anna

She really dodged a bullet at *4-3

Could have (should have?) got broken

But was really tenacious and focused - and served it out really well, the other girl didn't give it to her
