Emily lost in 3

 Emily looked a bit all over the place

She has good skill on grass but goes for shots she has no chance of making, doesn't really move as well as she should, and just seems to not really believe

Yeh it was not a good showing; serve not really popping either. In fairness she has had a very fast turnaround from clay. Lots of points coming off in the next few weeks unfortunately.

Bravo, Ranah !!!

You're not for the faint-hearted

But you'v got to love that there's still so much to improve on - and so much natural talent

Well done

Yay! Ranah wins 6-3, 7-6(5).

Fantastic result against a player 300 ranking places above her.

Well done Ranah. Played the big points well. Saito looked the better player much of the time, but let herself down on the key points.

 Yes. I thought Ranah's serve (as often) was what saved her

Even on the important break points against her, Ranah looked very cool and collected, knowing it was her serve, and all was well smile

The other points were a bit more all over the place biggrin

Oh Lily. Was fairly solid to 5-4 *40-0 in the second, missed all three match points, then a fourth. And broken.

Sigh.
