On Tuesday in Eastbourne, round two was nearly complete (the Jill Teichmann and Harriet Dart match was interrupted by darkness). The third day of the tournament provided great emotions. Paul Bados (WTA 4), who lost 4:6, 3:6 to Judy Bragg (WTA 169), was eliminated. There was one break in the first set that the Briton got at 5:4. In the second game the Spaniard came close to 3:4 with 0:4, but lost two more matches. Burrage achieved her first career win over the Top 10 Tennis Players.

Within 73 minutes, the Briton scored 24 of 30 points with her first pass. I saved two of my three break points and used four of my 13 breakout chances. Borg will face Beatriz Haddad Maya in the quarter-finals. The Brazilian has an 11-0 balance match on turf this year.

Maria Scari (WTA 5) lost 6:3, 5:7, 4:6 with Anhelina Kalinina (WTA 36). In the two-hour and eight-minute match, the two players scored four breaks. The Greek (92-90) scored two more points. Now the Ukrainian player can boast of two victories over the top 10 tennis players. Last month in Madrid, I got rid of Garbine Muguruza.
