Ranah had to hang tough late on, saving 5 breakpoints in her last 2 service games but prevailed 4-6 7-6(2) 6-4
Ranah started pulling her opponent into the net towards the end of the match and I'm not sure it was her best strategy. She has a huge amount of power in her shots despite her rather slight build. Her 1st serves were like rockets, she got lots of aces and I don't think there was a single DF.
What a brilliant set of results today. I really didn't expect to get many wins here so it's been one surprise after another. When you add in Heather, Harriet and Freya too it must be one of the best days for our ladies since the grass court season. Almost makes up for Andy losing again (ha ha).

My thoughts exactly. When I saw the draw I wasnt expecting too much. Lets hope a few make it through the second round.
I was going to say it wasn't a particularly strong draw at this level, but realistically Lily was the only player present who we could reasonably expect to reach the latter stages.
