That's Emily's second counter towards getting her singles ranking back.

Harriet gets Shinikova.

Enjoyed that

Very partisan crowd, not surprisingly, but Emily got over the line:

3-6 6-3 6-3

Well done to Emily. I saw it had gone from *5-1 in that final set to *5-3 30-30 so was relieved for Emily that she won these next 2 points and the match.

 Yes, it was getting a bit tight

And the crowd were getting pretty rowdy, as they sensed the comeback was on for their 'own' player

A couple of partisan linecalls too - one got overturned but not the other one 

As you say, Emily did well because she's been known to let victories slip from her grasp 

(Been said plenty of times before, but that serve of hers is technically very nice, and a good weapon, a good claim to be the best serve, overall, of all our players outside the top-200)
