Tara Moore beats Eden Silva to set up clash with Heather Watson in Nottingham
Tara Moore set up an all-British clash with Heather Watson in the second round of the Viking Open in Nottingham.
Moore, currently ranked 476, beat fellow Briton Eden Silva 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3) in the first round to claim a first WTA Tour-level win since November 2016.
Her reward – in the first UK grass-tournament since Wimbledon 2019 – is a match with Watson in the next round.
How good is it to have grass court tennis back? 😀
