Broke for *2-0 but was broken back.

Then missed 40-15* at 3-2* and broken herself despite saving 5 break points including from *0-40. Missed one game point.

And that game was the match. Felt like whoever got it would take it and so it proved.

Harriet loses 6-4 6-7(3) 6-3.

I mean she did a very good job to turn the match around, but still feels like one that slipped away at the end.

Shoot me, but I'm glad Varvara won

 Don't worry. I felt very ambivalent. Maybe when we get to the grass again I'll have softened up but I only tuned in from the back end of the second set as it's a rainy Easter Monday here with nothing else to watch!

 Yes, like you, I'm sure I'll 'get over it' smile

But I'm not quite there yet.....

Nice win for Fran - a wobble from 4-2 to 4-4 in the second but Laura helped her out by serving 4 doubles in the next game, and Fran then finished strongly

Katie is 4th on after a 10am start tomorrow, so round about 14.30.

Sonay and Emma play their matches on Wednesday.

Great win for Fran. Another tough one next but she's more than capable of winning it.
