1st set to GBR 6'4.
Emma wins 6'4, 6'4. Not an easy match for her but she made it.
Katie Boulter is next up against Sramkova.
Bit of a slower start for Katie, but now she's motoring!
It was all with serve at 2-2 but then Katie broke for 3-2 and held then broke again.
Serving for the first set at *5-2 up.
:yahoo:
Well done Katie, takes the first set 6'2.
Katie under pressure in the 2nd set - was down a break, got it back and
is now serving to stay in the set at *4-5.
C'mon Katie!!!
:GBflag:
Uh Oh! Katie got broken serving to stay in the set.
1-1 it is and Sramkova is now serving at *3-1 with the break of serve in the 3rd set.
Katie broke back, serving at *2-3 now.
Katie lost 6-2, 4-6, 4-6 :crying: Doubles coming on in about ten minutes :thumbup:
Fingers crossed for Heather and Olivia!
How ridiculous is it that Heather and Olivia are playing not only together for the first time but for the first time at all this week and are playing to keep GB in the BJK. They should play dead doubles rubbers IMHO.
Disappointment for Team GB who lose out to Slovakia.
Certainly a bit frustrating in the end,even if Katie was close.
Heather and Olivia had played together in a couple of tournaments within the last 12 months - Dubai and Charleston, with 4W 2L.
we don't have the strength in depth like the mens doubles has. We could put out probably 4 good pairings among the players available, even before thinking about using the singles as well.
Highest ranked lady is Olivia at 39, compared to 6 men inside the top 50
Italy d Slovakia to win the BJK Cup.
