Mimi lost the first set 2-6

No idea really what to do with Paszek's tricky balls (the odds were always way too generous here for Mimi - Tamira is a challenging player)

Hannah won the first set, 6-2 but not quite as one-sided as the score suggests

And is now a break down in the second

(and Megan's playing too, and in a TB - the 'youngster' tennis supported is spoilt for choice

)

And Hannah wins in 6-2 4-6 6-2

I looked at Oaszek and she was up to 26 in the world at one point, be it over ten years ago, but she obviously could play. Not sure what happened after that. I was expecting this to be a much tougher ask for Mimi.

If you thought Mimi would do worse, I do hope you had a little flutter - the odds were 4x for Paszek

Paszek effectively retired from the circuit for four years - she had huge injury problems - and hasn't managed to get back to her previous levels.

Thats sad. Must be so frustrating for her.I think of Kyle sometimes after his injury. It is a long way back.

I always remember her for the epic win over Wozniacki in round 1 of Wimbledon. She ended up making the quarterfinals (her second time).

She also broke through very young, she was in the top 100 at the age of 16.

Good result for Jodie. 7-6 6-4
Cant say she played that well in the parts I saw

Ella won a 3 setter with Ranah

GAMEOVER · Satellite level

Paszek won Eastbourne in 2012 beating Angie Kerber in the final.

Yes, really sad

And it reminds us that there are SO many other players who have huge injury problems, not just GB's lot

Do the ATP/WTA/ITF have some sort of insurance scheme that kicks in for players who have to retire or take time out of work for injury?

Similar to the way that many peoples workplaces enable insurance schemes like x time salary for death in service, or you can by insurance schemes to help you pay off your mortgage if you have to stop working for health reasons?

I know they are self employed, but as the players unions and employers, effectively, I hope they do provide some cover? I know guaranteed incomes have been mentioned for players and also pensions as well, not sure if the ATP implemented those yet?
