    Starting thread for Laura.
    She is paying a 15 year-old Taylor Townsend in Second Round Qlfying at USO tomorrow.
    Excellent chance of going through to the 3rd (and last round) of qualifying.
    C'mon Heather!
    PS Having said that I checked and Townsend knocked out a Spaniard ranked 142 who a year ago was ranked 46 so perhaps not a push over after all!

    An easy win yesterday and hopefully Laura can dictate, though we certainly can't take anything for granted.

    Play suspended most of the day but has not resumed. However Laura's match already called off - most courts had five matches scheduled and they have called off the last two, which was Laura's case. Presume she will be on second tomorrow and not sure if the schedule means the winner players tomorrow again or on Saturday....

    Eek! This fifteen-year-old seems like one to watch. Laura won first set 6-3, Taylor the second 6-4 and was serving 5-3 in third for the match but Laura broke back to 5-4.
    Make that 5-5. C'mon Laura!
    Laura breaks to go 6-5 up. Serve it out girl. C'mon Laura!
    Oh dear. Broken 6-6 TB to decide the match.
    Laura wins the tiebreak..... 7:0!!!! Sounds like her relative experience told in the end. I suspect these two might play each other at a later stage of both their careers!
    Well done Laura. Hope she can rest as she will have to play again today and that must have taken its share of nervous energy.

    Certainly was a toughie, but all credit to Laura for coming through against the "youngster! Hopefully she can make the main draw.

    That is some day for her! I was worried after she played nearly 2.5 hours in the first match of the day and her next opponent had had what seemed like a straightforward straight sets win.
    Is this the first time Laura has qualified by right for a GS rather than get a wild card? I think so, in which case
    WELL DONE LAURA!!!!! Smile

    It is her first time thorohg qualies, and her ranking should go up another ten places or so on this alone. I'm really pleased for her. Good win over Townsend, I was fearful she was going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again. But not this time.

    Did anyone see the Townsend match? Was it Robbo playing well, or Towsend bottling it in the end?
