A tennis match isn't over until the final point has been played, as Great Britain's Tara Moore has just illustrated.

The 26-year-old came from 6-0, 5-0 and 30-40 down to win her first-rounder against Jessika Ponchet at the ITF World Tennis Tour event at Sunderland, England, 0-6, 7-6 (7), 6-3.

"Never in doubt," she joked.
