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

Sonay and Emma play their matches on Wednesday.

 Or quite a lot later given it's women's tennis, on clay smile

 Fran's FQR match ( on Stadium 3 ) is also 4th on after a 10am BST start.

The match before Katie's is just warming up, so she might start around 16.00 to 16.30.

Match before Katie's finished so give it 20 minutes or so and she maybe starting just after 4 pm.

Bit of a pattern of going well behind early, dragging herself back into it, but doing to just a little to late.

*3-4

Both girls come through tough holds (no break points faced). Katie then goes from *30-0 to set point down....

Drat. That's disappointing, she got herself right back in it and should have closed out that game. Twice she lost four points in a row from *30-0 that set

4-6 0-0*

Fran was a break down, now 5-4* first set.

Katie had a point for *5-0 in the second.

Now *4-1 but some real battling games which she's come through in this set.

Really, really sporting behaviour of Siniakova to give Katie the first serve when the umpire gave it as a second

Fran was broken from *40-0 and went on to lose the second 3-6, but has just broken in the third. *2-0

Katie also broke and has just held a tough game for 3-1*

Super stuff Katie - Siniakova got steadily worse but Katie played some very good tennis and kept her own game very tidy and aggressive. That's a good achievement winning a match on clay at this level.

4-6 6-2 6-1

 

Fran now *5-1 in the third.

I mean Katie never going to move like Rafa on clay- but she did an ok job of not moving around too much and also helped with Siniakova hitting 60 UEs- but we shall take it!

How many wins does Katie have on clay at wta level?
