Great match. Now for the difficult bit - trying to watch Hannah/Mika at the same time as Liv/Tereza

Outstanding. That match point summed up Mimi - she was everywhere, and so clever and solid. Fantastic!

 Yes - but Ella was the exceptional player, I thought

Mimi played well but Ella absolutely aced that match

 I agree CD. Ella pulled it back when she was love 40 on her serve in the second set to take it to a tie break and she really got a pummelling from her opponents but was up to the task. A great performance by both players. So happy for them both. Ella was on Insta yesterday and was so excited. Good luck to them in the next round. Great to see.

Liv+ miss break points then broken from *40-15. They looks so tense.

4-5*

Hannah and Mika well beaten 6-2 6-2 but hope they enjoyed the experience.

What an awful performance, losing 7 games in a row in the middle. I think they made about 10 first volleys between them and only won *4* points on their opponents second serve the entire match

Really expected a lot more from this pair after looking so good in Berlin, but that's a few times I've seen Liv in Grand Slams now look very shaky. Maybe another one struggling with expectation and just wanting it a little too much. Shame.

That was pretty dreadful

Although I am never convinced about doubles players in Grand Slams - too many singles players who, basically, are better (I appreciate this doesn't necessarily apply here)

But still very disappointing

I thought Siskova and Rakhimova played pretty well.

But yeah, I think a bit too tense on the biggest tournament of the year.

 Really good to see. They have both already shown real ability on a doubles court with quite a number of senior titles with a range of different partners. Today reaffirms  it.

Live rankings with a nice 130 points for reaching R2:

Ella: Live ranked #173, live u20 #4, live GB #10

Mimi: Live ranked #200, live u20 #6, live u18 #1, live GB #12

 Was going to say Mimi cant be number one, Mirra must be, but of course Mirra is a year older now! How underrated is Ella though? I think she is a really good player, just needs a couple of good breaks  and she could be following the Sonay route to the top 100. .
