L16:- Heather Watson (GBR) / Yifan Xu (CHN) CR 91 (50+41) lost to Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE) / Elise Mertens (BEL) CR3(1+2) [1] 2-6 4-6

Ouch. Led 2-0. Lost 8 games in a row.

So Ms Swiatek won, but I am intrigued by the BBC report:

"Swiatek dug deep to save two match points in the 13th game of the third set, ... and then saved another in the tie-break"

They must have changed the scoring since I were a lad.

You'd think that the BBC would employ people that can count beyond 10. It was the 12th game.
