Phew! What a great win. Had a bit of a wobble serving for the match at 5-0 second set and threw in a couple of double faults which cost her the game. Riera then upped her level for a couple of games but Fran just hung on in there and got the win. I do love watching her play.
Hopefully Fran will be OK and it was at worst just a precautionary doubles withdrawal. Was due to be a bit of a hang around for Fran with her playing her singles SF in the afternoon then Nadia's SF and the doubles SF scheduled for the night.
The singles final is scheduled for 6 pm local, 1 am tomorrow BST.
