Watching Mikas match and very impressed so far, not afraid to move up the court and go on offensive. I wondered how tall she is?

Having stood near her this summer, I would say about 5ft 9 or 10
She's a tall girl

Wow, she moves so well! She seems to have a lot going in her favour.

It's hard to imagine Helgo took a set off anyone watching this match. Not impressed with her at all. The only time she scored anything was when she took the offensive - otherwise very defensive and it's not working.

Mika is 6ft. Her strength, apart from having a great serve, is her power behind the ball.

Really? Then she's grown a bit since summer biggrin

5ft 10 certainly but I wouldn't give you 6ft

Anwyay, as Daisycat says, she's made a lot of improvement, she seems far more sure of what schemas of play to use, what shot to use and when - she often used to get herself confused before

A very competent and well-played match

Poor Emma. She's had a few tight losses like that at this level.

It would have been a career-best win for Emma - previous best was Nigina Abduraimova WR209 in Sunderland in October. She's much better than her ranking.

Couple of bad service games cost Lily in the third, but that was some match point from the youngster. She's good!

I must say that Hannah didn't look out of place playing with three experienced doubles players, and as always the match came down to just a few points here and there.

Mika is racing through her match against Katy - she took the first set 6-1

Wow! She is really coming into her own this week. Will be good for Hannah as she can take some of the attention. Always rated Mika.
