Close, so very close to a massive victory; close don't get you the cigar though.
An excellent outing from Eden, couldn't take her chances, but didn't fade away at any point against an opponent ranked almost 1000 place higher than her.
A shame.

6-3 5-7 4-6

Huge shame for Eden to lose 6-4 in the third, having served for the match and been 40-40.

But a great week, and far better to feel bitterly disappointed coz you were SO close to beating a top 500 player than just routine glum coz you've lost 2 and 1 to a player ranked 1200 or whatever.

Summary:

L16: Danielle Konotoptseva WR 800 lost to (7) Madrie le Roux (RSA) WR 644 (= CH) by 0 & 2

L16: (Q) Eden Silva WR 1233 lost to (3/WC) Olga Ianchuk (UKR) WR 376 (= CH) by 3-6 7-5 6-4

I couldn't believe Eden's score when I saw it - well done to her for pushing a top 400 player that close!
