I think Katie Boulter just needs to do more of the same in this third set.

She stamped her authority on the match in that second set and got it back on track, whereas she became very tentative at the end of the first set and allowed her opponent into the match.

She cannot afford unforced errors now, and her game is always about being on the front foot and being aggressive, but she just needs to play with contained aggression.

Ah, a real missed opportunity. Monnet hits a very slow second serve but Boulter returns it wide.

Excellent return from Boulter who then finishes off a point with a forehand winner at the net.

The first chance in the decider.

Shot! Katie Boulter hangs in a rally before producing a fantastic backhand, cross-court, passing winner to move to 30-30.

Monnet wins the next point with a strong serve but then double-faults for deuce.

Hello to everyone just joining us!

So, the story of the match so far...

Katie Boulter looked really good at the start of the opening set, and, at 5-4, had a chance to serve for the set. But the Briton was brutally broken and then picked off in a tie-break.

In the second set Boulter again secured an early break, but this time she pushed on, cruising to 6-1.

Now it's decider time.

There are a lot more points that Katie Boulter is now starting to take charge of, isn't there?

It just seems like she is more on top of the baseline, she is more inside it, she is the one getting more impact through the court.

Carole Monnet is taking a comfort break. Katie Boulter's still on court, loosening up, practicing her serves.

Boom. Katie Boulter serves out wide and then backs it up with a winner down the line.

Now, hang on, a chance again. Katie Boulter gets another break point after a Monnet double fault.

Yep, Carole Monnet is finding a bit of joy on her wrong side.

Two more deuces later and we're still at it in this game.

That was a very deceptive backhand, I thought it was sailing long!

Carole Monnet's strikes quite often have the height that looks like it's going out but she just puts this extra little bit of spin on it. It's an unusual strike that she has, it's definitely not straightforward.

She is definitely not a ball-basher from the back of the court, she likes her shots to have shape and height.

Nope. Monnet saves again. Deuce.

Katie Boulter's barmy army are in good voice again as the Briton goes up 15-30.

Carole Monnet responds with a cracking forehand winner down the line to take us to 30-30. But then Monnet mishits a forehand into the stands to give Boulter a break point.

This for 5-1.
