That was a very good third set Mimi.

Jodie played a good set of tennis after so long away, served for it at *6-5, saved a bunch of break points but never got a set point. Got rattled and was a bit sloppy in the tiebreak which was a shame if a tad predictable. 6-7(3)

Shame for Jodie

She broke and served for the set but ended up losing the TB

ADD: As said better by PaulM above smile

Just to remind everybody - Minnen is the defending champ. She was seeded 5 last year, but has dropped down the rankings from last year's 77

Surprised Mimi got the win given her lack of match play. Not really surprised at the other losses. Others need more time to settle, Jodie needs to just get match sharp.

Jodie just ran out of puff which is totally understandable. Not bad at all for first match back against a solid grass courter.

Oh Heather....

5-4 *30-0. Tightens horribly. Gets a match point and the Slovak gets a net cord

5-5*

Poor Hev

She missed her first serves just when she needed them, as you say, Paul, got really tight (AGAIN!)

And loses :(

That sort of finish is just all too predictable from Heather over the years isn't it. What a waste

Vic goes out 1 & 4, which just leaves Millie to play - been moved to Centre Court
