She was very quick on her feet and timo and again followed up hard drive with "kill" which earned her rounda of applause."
Regarding the losing pair, Mrs. Guil played a very hard game and several times brought off saves which appeared impossible. Mrs. McCaw was off her game though once or twice she did get in her fast
