Leykina holds again - now, Eden has held serve 11 times out of 14 but 2 of the 3 breaks have come while she was serving for the match. Come on Eden, 3rd time lucky!
6-1 6-7(5) *5-3

Eden (the player Bally coached for a while during her time out in late 2012 - bit.ly/1suBN29) makes her first 10K singles semi-final with a spectacular career best win! The turnaround in her singles form since she won that doubles title with Emily here earlier this year has been amazing

I think this guy on Twitter could do with getting reported a few times so he gets banned: atuamaemontanes - he gave Eden lots of disgusting abuse today before turning on her opponent at the end.

Just got home and - wowzer - well done Eden !!! (and to Katie too of course)
She's only 18 (Eden) and the last two months have seen a real sea-change - amazing (and, yes, brownie points to Emily). Just shows some of the others too what can suddenly 'click' and happen.
