What a great match from Katie! She started with the intensity she finished with in the semi-final, although a serving was a little off to begin with, and they exchanged a few breaks. It was a good level after that, but Katie's right leg slipped away from her a bit in the 11th game and it looked like she'd tweaked it, although not too badly. Indeed, it didn't seem to affect her much at all. She had a MTO after the 1st set ended. In the second set there was no evidence of her having an injury, and if anything her movement around the court got better.
This is the best I've seen Katie play for a long while and I didn't see any evidence of a worrying injury. I'm sure she'll get some more work on the leg after the match and that hopefully she'll be fine for the next tournament. You never can tell with Katie but crossing fingers. A great win!
Where's Andy Parker gone? He must be made up at Katie's success these past few weeks.
Must admit, I was a doubter about those injuries finally being sorted. But maybe....
