well she got it in the end, I expect that was an outbreak of nerves. 6-3.

Jade wins the 1st set 6-3 !!

Really hope she can keep it up, I'm off now to play a tennis match, can someone do score updates for me so I can read through it when I get back.

Sure thing...and some great news too.....

Jade broke during the first game of the second set.....after at least three Ds....seemed like it was her second break point of the game and she took, I arrived when it was D.....

Then she held to 15....so 2-0 in the second set

Montana Doug · Futures qualifying

Now 15-30....she is on such a roll

30-30

30-40.....another chance....

D

She plays doubles today too....and Naomi is soon up with a really tough match

The Pole holds.....but Jade still a break up.....2-1 second set

Montana Doug · Futures qualifying

A set and a break up....reminds me of a Semi at the French Open in 2004....why do such thoughts come to my mind though.....rats.....I hate the memory of that match....

It won't happen today though!

A things stand the next round:

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova RUS (1) or Melanie Klaffner AUT  vs. Jade Curtis GBR
Raluca Olaru ROM (10) or Gail Brodsky USA vs. Wing Yau Venise Chan HKG or Julia Cohen USA (6)

Mihaela Buzarnescu ROM (4) vs. Sharon Fichman CAN (13)
Kristy Frilling USA or Ksenia Pervak RUS  vs. Katerina Vankova CZE or Ksenia Milevskaya BLR (9)

Dominika Cibulkova SVK (7) or Madison Brengle USA vs. Lauren Albanese USA
Petra Martic CRO vs. Ayumi Morita JPN (3)

Sorana Cirstea ROM (8) vs. Naomi Cavaday GBR or Tamira Paszek AUT (11)
Sacha Jones NZL vs. Ashley Weinhold USA or Alexandra Panova RUS

The next round could be very tough for Jade as she will probably face the World Junior number 1. She's a year younger than Curtis and if jade plays like she did today, who knows?

Wow that is an absolutely fantastic result for Jade. Her coach has been saying that her problem this year is that she's been playing brilliantly on the practise court and competing with the best juniors in the world but on the match court she's been getting too tight and not producing anything like her best. She's been working with a sports psychologist to try and correct this and all that hard work has paid dividens today !!

Naomi's match has just started, it's on serve in the early stages of the 1st set Naomi leading 3-2.
