British hope Elena Baltacha ensured home representation in the second round of the women's tournament but not before giving her fans and backers on Betfair the jitters.
The 24-year-old touched a high of [8.0] to win her first round fixture with German Angelique Kerber when trailing in the third set, with her opponent backed into
[1.14].
But Baltacha fought back and went on to take the third set 7-5.
