We may still have a representative left in the qualies !!!

Elena has broken for 6-5 !

I checked earlier and she was 4-1 down and I thought oh dear, but it seems to have suddenly changed around !

Unfortunately Hsu isn't giving this set up easily, Bally is 0-30 down on serve.

Now 0-40

Oh dear, looks as if it's heading for a breaker

Wen Hsu is 17 and from Chinese Taipei, she's at a career high of 221.

She had a succesful autumn in 2005 winning several futures in Asia on hard courts. Her best results of 2006 came in April when she made the semis and quarters of two challengers.

Meanwhile, on court 8, Hsu has broken back and leads 1-0 in the breaker with Bally to serve.

Elena seems to have crumpled in the last few minutes. She's lost both her service points and is 3-0 down.

Elena made a great recovery from a double mini-break down in the breaker and it's now 7-7 with Bally serving

Hopefully she'll have got rid of some rust in that first set and the 2nd will be more comfortable.

Hopefully that'll be the case. It was such a shame that she got injured straight after the Fed Cup as her form on the clay there was amazingly good and she could have done some damage in the clay challengers.

This'll be an impressive win in her first match back if she can do it.

deuce on Bally's serve

I reckon that this 2nd set will be as topsy turvy as the 1st
