Hev and Xu lost 6-3 1-6 10-8

We're always behind in the tiebreak until 8-7*

Close, but not to be.

Sramkova started match as favourite and easy to see why.

*0-2 very ugly first two games from Katie.

Katie was a double break down, but had three break points for 5-5* and missed them all.

It's not pretty at all. And let's face it, her draws in these two huge events couldn't have been kinder. She just can't get to grips with the surface at all, it's really like she's in her own head with it.

Katie served for the second set after being a break down but played a weak game. Had a set point in the breaker. On the plus side to another rather humbling evening on the dirt, Katie has handed Sramkova her top 100 debut at 27. Which is nice.

3 of 19 on break points.

 Given how Madrid and Rome have gone beating France away on clay seems even more miraculous in retrospect.

Well Sramkova has followed up beating Harriet and Katie by beating Kenin and reaching the last 16.

Odd statistic from the BBC:

[The Italian Open is] the first time the top three women's players in the world have reached the semi-finals of a WTA event of 250 level or higher since the 2013
French Open.
