    “First to 10?” Boulter mouths to Anne Keothavong.

    Erm, yes. Boulter thought it was first to seven and that she had won!

    Not yet...

    Another backhand finds the depths of the net from Katie Boulter.

    Just one point in it now.

    Backhand into the tape from Katie Boulter, that keeps Ekaterina Makarova's hopes alive.

    This is tense.

    Unforced errors that we haven't seen in this match are creeping in for Boulter.

    Boulter 6-0 4-6 6-6 (7-4) Makarova*

    Makarova misplaces while on the run, Boulter needed that.

    Big serve, slamming forehand winner. That'll do the trick.

    *Boulter 6-0 4-6 6-6 (5-4) Makarova

    Katie Boulter cracks the top of the net, the ball dangles in midair but falls narrowly back on her own side. The 22-year-old sticks the next return wide and suddenly this tie-break is turning.

    Boulter 6-0 4-6 6-6 (5-2) Makarova*

    Makarova gets on the board as Boulter double faults.

    Don't lose this momentum...

    The Brit goes long, but she'll challenge - to no avail.

    *Boulter 6-0 4-6 6-6 (5-0) Makarova

    Wowsa. Barely saw that forehand off the strings of Katie Boulter it was hammered down with such speed. She makes it 5-0.

    Makarova is furious with herself as she goes 4-0 down. My Russian isn't any good to translate. I expect it was filled with naughty words.

    Katie Boulter is flying here. She storms into a 3-0 lead and skips away in delight.

    Boulter wasn't taking any prisoners was she!

    A moment of history. The final-set tie-break is used in the tournament for the first time...

    Katie Boulter will be hoping she is the answer to a tennis quiz question in years to come. A niche tennis quiz but nonetheless...

  14. Tie-breakpublished at 02:23 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2019

    *Boulter 6-0 4-6 6-6 (2-0) Makarova

    Brilliantly brutal from Katie Boulter, twice rifling a forehand into the guts of Ekaterina Makarova in quick succession... and she makes another winner to take a 2-0 lead.

    Right, time for a tie-break. First to 10, I believe...

    Make that 40-0. Katie Boulter means business. A love hold...

  17. Postpublished at 02:21 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2019

    *Boulter 6-0 4-6 5-6 Makarova

    Fiery start from Katie Boulter, zipping her way to 30-0 with two wrist-rattling serves.

    Katie Boulter trudges bak to her seat. She knows another chance has slipped through hands like a wet bar of soap.

    Again, she must refocus on serving to stay in the tournament...
