She's missed a sitter to take the tiebreak

Utterly horrid smash

It was awful wasn't?! Got it in the end. Finally found a couple of good first serves at *12-13 which put the Italian into an unhelpful grump.

Now don't let up!

I've only seen Alicia twice.
Once as a junior with a reputation and she lost in the first round, then last week when she was very inconsistent.

I'm not quite sure what to make of her game...

 Yes, though it sort of depends who she was playing and what her tennis was like - after all, losing isn't a problem - you can still think someone is very promising even if they lose, it's the tennis that counts, not the result 

She's a tall, angular player, doesn't bend that well, but has got a lot better - the US college coaching she's had has really helped her 

I always prefered her head and shoulders over Esther's tennis, for instance.

I'd argue that Alicia is our most promising female to come out of US college in recent times. I'd like to say ever but I don't have the history knowledge to say that definitively. Although her career high college ranking was well below that of Millie Rajecki and Sofia Johnson, that was largely a consequence of a hip injury affecting her during a couple of years setting her back and allowing others to jump ahead of her that she didn't get the opportunity to be the No 1 at Florida that she was on course to be after the 1st year. She only got sufficiently over the injury to demonstrate what she was capable of in the 2nd half of her last semester.

Gar. Sort of let it slip through her fingers really. Very close.

Indianna had a couple of points to level at 4-4* in the third but couldn't quite manage it and loses 6-4 4-6 6-3. Another good try.

The doubles has lots of byes and a GB pair i have never heard of...

 Probably locals ! The ITF haven't heard of Ellys either, and Holly only played a couple of junior grade 5's in 2018 (she's 24 now)

There are only three byes.

 I'm guessing that the mystery player is Ellys Pollon who studied at Nottm Uni and recently moved to Glasgow.

 She is indeed Ellys Pollon, and now is on the ITF player list. 22 years old, and no record of senior or junior matches showing.

Not suprisingly Marni beat Ella, but it took 3 sets and a comeback in the third.
I see Lily and Rabah are slight favourites to win their matches.

Mimi breaks early in the 2nd set. 6-2 *2-1

She was very slight betting underdog before the start, which I found too tempting.

 ...  so of course it's not going to prove straightforward. 6-2 3-3*
