The quality of the match dropped off in the second set, with the first 4 games being breaks largely given away, but Hannah then found some consistency to run away with the last 4 games and win 7-6(4) 6-2

Disappointing end from Isa. Started great but got poorer as the match went on. Missed a good opportunity but I know it's been a difficult period for her tennis wise. Hollie really wasnt very competitive at all.
We get our first win of the day as Mika takes out the top ranked WTA player Urhono (WTA325) 6-3 6-3. The American's fast paced game style suited Mika well, and Urhobo may regret not playing any junior warm-up events
Yes, Urhobo was standing SO far back on serve - it was ridiculous
And she really hadn't got the feel for grass at all
Mika was getting excellent whip and countered the ball nicely when needed
Pretty simple win really
Remaining round 1 matches are scheduled for tomorrow along with some doubles. Gabia gets an outside show court (12) against the second seed while Mimi is first on 8. Mika is in a strong section of the draw - she plays the Roehampton champion next.
