You get the feeling she really wants to win and play Emma in the quarters. Emma hinted as much in her post match IV. Such a great competitor our Fran!.
Fran was a break down in the third, drags herself to 5-5 40-15*, missed both, gets a third, frames a return, lands plum in the corner, wins the point.
*6-5
Crowd are loving this and easy to see why. Absorbing match, mixture of big hitting with some lovely touch moment and super defence. Good quality tennis from both girls.
