Second set: Ashleigh Barty 6-3 *3-2 Kiki Bertens: Barty gets the break back immediately, forcing an error from Bertens with a heavy crosscourt forehand. Plenty of unforced errors before that though. We have been spoilt with some quality tennis in the opening two days, but this is a very choppy tennis match. Bertens very understandably doesn’t seem to have the energy while Barty hasn’t been able to punish her as thoroughly as she should. 11.38am GMT
Second set: Ashleigh Barty 6-3 2-2* Kiki Bertens: Well then. Barty led 40-15 and seemed to be coasting towards consolidating the break, then she just seemed to lose focus. A series of errors was punctuated by the worst of all - a missed drive volley into the open court on break point. We’re back on serve.
