seems a bit short considering the report from yesterday.
13:43 L. Davis filled the final spot in the main draw after she overcame Nina Bratchikova in three sets 2-6 6-4 6-1. Bratchikova took out the first set comfortably and looked to be in control of the match against an injured Davis. But with a heavily strapped left thigh and a visible limp, Davis battled on grinding out a tough second set to level at one set apiece. With constant encouragement from her coach on the sidelines Davis’ hard work in the second paid off as she cruised to a third set victory 6-1. Bratchikova didn’t go home empty handed and was later awarded entry into the tournament as Lucky loser. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova withdrew from the event this morning due to a hip injury, freeing up a spot in the main draw for Bratchikova.

Watched this match, Bratchikova was destroying her in the first. Let Davis into it and then suffered a brain injury when it mattered in second and for rest of third.
Highly unimpressed by both of them in the end. The match looked to take a lot out of them physically.

Was the injury to Davis quite obvious? She did cruise the third set so I'm hesitant to get too involved. Though Brat might have completely eased off knowing she was in the main draw anyway.

Think the report exaggerates it. The video was bad so I couldn't really tell but there was an MTO I think and she was walking around a little awkwardly between points - but she then went on to take control of the match. Didn't seem to be affecting her actual play that much, but it was generally a fairly taxing match both mentally and physically. Both players were getting pretty tired and emotional and it was very hot so they will probably be a bit drained today.

She's beating sloane here today
Yeah.
It's 4-1 in the opening set now. To Sloane Stephens. Going to be 5-1 in a few.
My source tells me sloane is feeling 'a bit under the weather' today
Wow. I hold my hands up. Davis is slaughtering Stephens in the second set.
Mind you, Davis did have a rather long toilet break between sets...

Tightly clutching a bottle of ketchup will not help you
Bad fall for Sloane but she seems okay.
Is, however, frustrated and has a code violation.
1.2 lay looking good

If this wins i will be sure to use my source again for any australian matches
The market doesn't suspend for the end of a set (match odds, I'm talking about)

Was briefly hoping Sloane had retired and my video was slow 
Yeh the whole match has slowed down imo, very hard hitting and direct shots in the first set but now not as much power, more net hitting
Davis keeps going flat when she has the lead. It's not 'choking' but her level just doesn't stay the same. She's a very determined chaser/fighter but not a great frontrunner it seems; that emerged with Bobusic too iirc.
Pegged back and she suddenly comes alive with an exceptional break
Two short balls into the net.
Giving your opponent a short ball in WTA is practically a free point.

See if i was a sloane backer i would be pissed off now because that was a chance for sloane
Pathetic return at 30-30, if only she could have had the conviction she displayed on the following point 
if she wins this deuce then i think she will break next game because sloane will be kicking herself
what a waste from sloane lol, davis has to break now, cant see her winning a tiebreak
Wanted to green out on BP and the market fell apart with huge 50 or 60 tick gap opening up and couldn't do it 
sloane stephens is 1.3, awful odds considering the way this match has gone
sloane is bit of a cow isnt she. didnt apologize for net cord , when davis tripped she turned around lol
Really annoyed there, robbed of big green by the market dissolving when I wanted to trade.
as far as i know she is twice as much cocky about herself as he got talent,and she got some no doubt. good win thou
If Sloane was the same height as Lauren she would have lost the match
You could really see the height difference coming into play in the rallies, I think Sloane sensed it because she was hitting a lot of bouncing balls
I started as a Sloane backer and made some green but layed her quite heavily at 1.2 very early in second and kept it until the end so lost in the end but should have greened out earlier. Was gutted that at the time I actually wanted to green nothing was getting matched anywhere near the proper price.
and kept it until the end so lost in the end
Lol, that's 5:55am writing for you

Cibu absolutely smashing Kerber, Kerber just not moving
Hmmm could Flipkens start soon because the doubles match that was meant to be on before is now a walkover?
Ah no it's only an 11 hour time difference, 2 hours to wait
Better not. Ive took cibu when it was 5-2 so they had best wait. Im a man and cant do 2 things at once.
