    The pressure cranks up a little bit more on France. It's been some match this.

    I'm not sure how Katie Boulter stayed in that rally for as long as she did, but it's eventually ended abruptly by Clara Burel.

    Deuce.

    Me too, Sue. I don't know how much more of this I can take!

    Katie Boulter has a bit of swagger as she runs back onto the court. She'll get the second set under way.

    What a nail-biting, nerve-shredding, cliff-hanger of a set that is. It's taken by Katie Boulter in over an hour of tension and tennis.

    Great Britain strike first on day two. I don't know about you but I could do with a lie down.

    Advantage Great Britain! Katie Boulter, who looked completely dejected after conceding serve just a few games ago, has taken the opening set.

    What a set that was!

    Another mighty moment for Katie Boulter. She was two points away from losing this set. Now life is a little more uncomfortable for her opponent.

    Katie Boulter lets out a huge 'come on' as she gets the hold.

    It's been such a topsy-turvy set. Can the British number one disrupt Clara Burel's serve again?

    Unbelievable volley from Katie Boulter who will not go away in this opening set. You have to tip your cap to her. Every time she's pushed to the brink she finds a way back.

    It was never going to be straightforward for either of them to finish this set off.

    Fantastic from Katie Boulter. The forehand is working wonders as she earns herself a break point to try and save the set.

    Can she do it?
