Interesting to see how her body holds up and also how she manages at a higher level.

Yes, I think this is the first time since her comeback that she's played back-to-back tournaments so hopefully mind as well as body are recovered for the first round match. She'll expect to win that one. If she does, then it's great to have a tough match against Ponchet for her to assess her level. Looking forward to this week ..

Well done Katie.

Ponchet not scheduled to play today, so Katie has a day off (hopefully)

Nice to see Katy get that win.

Next round will be a test to see where she really is right now.

Very good win. Swan stayed calm, even though the first serve was misfiring, and was able to keep Ponchet pinned to the baseline and running towards the corners. Even when Ponchet tried to mix up her game, and broke back to level at 3-3 Swan stayed consistent, and was able to break her French opponent again for 5-4. Confident play then to serve it out, for another 2 set victory. One match at a time, building confidence and resilience in equal measure.
