Kat getting herself into a complete tizz here

5-3

She's got two MPs

Hits the first doddy serve into the net

And then plays a good point, her ball is called out, it comes back she finishes it at the net, challenges the call, the umpire (who looks a bit lost, tbh) allows the challenge, goes and looks at the mark, calls it in, Kat goes to the net to shake hands, the umpire isn't getting back in his chair, and Ahn - quite rightly - says we have to replay, the ball went back, Kat is going 'but I hit a winning short ball, I won', missing the point that Ahn stopped after the ball was called out

She then gets a little wild in the next three points, screeching, and loses the game

Another MP - really long - Ahn's ball is clearly on the line, and Kat is cheering that she's won, and can't believe it when the umpire says it's good. The umpire is up and down like a yo-yo

It's really not a good trait - she's always done it - she sees the ball as she wants it to be - emotionally she's won this match three times already, and yet she's not won it - it's draining for her, as opposed to actually focusing on the tennis

Back level 5-5

My livestream cut out (sometimes theydo that when one player gets to 6 - they think the match is won....)

But it is won !!!!

And actually, glad not to have been able to watch it

Well done, that player - that was NOT easy

And a WTA ranking awaits

She gets a ranking point but will she get a ranking? I thought it was a minimum of 10 points or points from 3 tournaments to get a WTA ranking?
