Dreadful call from the umpire at *30-15 calling a not up on Fran. She gets it overturned on review and wins the point but it's Linette who feels angry, as she has the point won, and if the umpire has correctly not said anything, she'd be at 30-30.

Well done Fran. Super win.

Yes, really dreadful call by the umpire - and, yes, obviously Fan sort of stopped but there's pretty much no chance she'd have got to the ball anyway - so it really was Magda's point

But well done to Fran - very gutsy performance - got blown away at the re-start but buckled down well in the third

Fran gets the 18 year old Jovic WR14 in R2.

If you'd told me Katie, Harriet and Fran would all make R2 I wouldn't have believed you. Presumably this gets Fran back into the Top 100?

when I typed the original message, the apostrophes appeared ok until I posted.  When I tried to edit, thee apostrophes appeared as highlighted question marks in the line of text.  Obviously they still didnt show.  Using ipad ios 18.6

Indeed - makes sense. A quick chat with Petey supports:

Yes, iPhones have smart quotes built-in as a system-wide default feature called "Smart Punctuation".It automatically turns straight quotes into curly quotes ( ).You can check or change this by going to Settings > General > Keyboard and looking for the Smart Punctuation toggle.AndroidNo, Android does not use smart quotes by default on its standard keyboards like Gboard.Android typically types straight, "dumb" quotes (" ').You can usually access curly quotes on Android by long-pressing the quote or symbol keys, but there is no built-in system-wide auto-formatting toggle for smart quotes like iOS has.

 Live ranking has Fran at 105, down 1 place. Fran had several good results about this time last year but she did go out in R1 of the US Open last year so it is a bit surprising that she hasn't moved up.

Fran is dropping 3 counters worth 165 points to be replaced by the 110 points from here and two 1 pointers so is down 53 points. It's more surprising she is only down 1 place in the live rankings
