Elina holds to 15.

Can Sonay serve out for the match?

Aggression ( and composure ) keeps on coming though from Sonay and she holds to love.

6-6, final set TB

All the best !

That was SO good - from both women

You could throw a blanket, a pillow case even, over the two of them

Super tennis

(and no one is going to be happy to be drawn against Sonay in the Australian Open, no matter what rank they are)

That was tough on Sonay, who outplayed Elena and just got tight serving for the match

Sonay saves 1 MP but not a second and loses the TB 5-7.

Great effort, girl.

I felt Sonay's level dropped just when she was looking more likely to win. Gave Elena confidence to stay in it and win.

Shame about the break points at 4-2* as that would have killed it but an amazing performance and overall level

Great performance from Sonay. Hopefully, she'll be back in the top 50 soon.

Wow! I've just used the "Match in 15 mins" function on Tennis Channel, which is very useful if the match you've lost is featured. And what a performance from Sonay. Winning those long rallies, the hitting on both sides, the speed around the court. Sonay looked (in those 15 mins) to have really leveled up again. Fabulous tennis from both, from what I saw.

Seconded CD, I would not want Sonay in the first round or the second! She could go far with a good draw and decent conditions.
