And she did keep fighting

Right the way to the finish line

Wow, super win, Beth

(and the opponent's 'drop shot' on the second MP in the third was enough to make a coach pull their hair out!)

Another good win for Ella who's starting to put together some consistently good results. Very disappointing for Marni - lots of points up for grabs and a good draw. But well done Mimi.

Well done to Grace Piper, who's put on a some nice muscle since being at US college - which is all for the good

But the match was pretty spotty - not greay quality - and Naiktha is her own worst enemy at times

 Hmm, greay and spotty. Probably just as well that I was out all day and unable to watch !

Millie Bissett has already got Manon Leonard banging tennis balls into the fencing and screeching - all good

The other Millie is a set down 2-6

It's been a great tussle between Heather and Ella - and Ella takes the first set !

7-5

Some lovely tennis in that one

Dani v Mimi has also been a tussle - with Mimi finally edging it 6-4

Millie B held serve and then had three BPs at the start of the second. She did nothing wrong but couldn't take it, got back on serve, with Manon playing better (chipping her way to the net all the time ). Millie has now broken again (didn't see that) but close.....
