British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

unranked Isabella just served for the match, against the top-350 player

Got broken

But has broken back again

Second time of asking

Allez !!!

WOW !!!!!!!!!

She was 4-0 up

Lost 5 points on the trot including a horrible overhead where he racket went flying out of her hand

And then won three points in a row to take the tiebreak and the match



What a result

She qualified and won a round two weeks ago (W15) so today's win will take her to 6 points (1 from W15 and 1+4 this week). And I see she now has an ITF ranking.

 Alicia + won their QF in straight sets.

Alicia is up a break in the decider.
She has picked up a good chunk of points in the last few weeks

this is one of these sets which has two sides to the same coin

on the one hand, Alicia was 5-1 served for it, looked tight, served two DFs, you could see that her arm had gone to lead....

on the other hand, Tkacheva had completely imploded at about 2-1, starting whacking the ball all over the place, just awful .... and then really got her act together, and hit strong shots, some super winners, imposed herself
