Mimi won 6-2 6-3, decent performance after quite a few quiet months.
Top girls have been held back due to A levels and the French Open juniors finishing later, which meant a slow start to the grass season and their junior commitments. I cant see things improving too much next year TBH hence the W35s etc are like gold dust to them.
I don't normally think that an umpire error makes all the difference - but I think this one did
- and it was well out
But Hannah, that's life, go and rest up, treat the calf or the cramp or whatever it was (she didn't fall, so much as suddenly crumple as she was walking, and then carried on, so I don't think it can be too bad)
Just one of those daft matches
Put it behind you

From what I saw there were quite a few dodgy line calls. Mainly against Hannah but I did see a some Hannah shots get called in that were extremely close if not out.
it also wasnt good that the umpire took about 30seconds or more to get out of his chair to go and see if Hannah was ok.

Yes, I saw a ball of Lizette's that was in (IMO) and was called out
However, it wasn't an important point whereas the first one re Hannah was really key
That's life, it happens, but the two main ones against Hannah were right under his nose, and the camera showed it very clearly, and he had no idea
