What's occurring?

I see from the score it has turned round rather.

0-6 7-5 *3-0

It's the turnaround, and the absolute OTT riotous nature of the crowd

Léo lost 0-6

And then managed to scrape together the second set, playing some really gutsy and inventive tennis, and laughing at the changeovers, over to her team

With the crowd going nuts - she's very popular - she's got half her family there, I think

And then started on a real roll in the second, the crowd are singing the national anthem, cheering everything like crazy - and Beg pulls a muscle in her calf - gets an MTO - tried to carry on but can't really

And after she's left, the crowd are now singing 'thank you, Léo, thank you, Léo ......' to the football chant - and have horns and whatever

it's all VERY good

As expected Katie gets Madison Keys in R2.

Sonay is 3rd on court 9 tomorrow.

Great to see Katie and Emma come through. Would be great to see Sonay make it 3.

First time since 1979 that 3 British women have reached the second round of the French championships.That was the days of Wade and Barker and Hobbs

wales1994 · County player

Cracking, I did expect her to win that but I'm impressed with how straightforward it was!

Technically we had 4 in the 2nd round in 1981, but 2 had byes.
