Not good

Anne plays her doubles 2nd round match (against either Timea Bacsinszky/Tathiana Garbin or the seeded Flavia Pennetta/ Gisela Dulko - I've seen two conflicting results for their match this evening) not before 2.30pm BST on court 5. The not before is inserted because Anne's partner Andrea Petkovic is through to the third round of the singles, and plays that first up on centre

Bally meanwhile appears on the WTA Tour website with the following story, mainly a rehash of previous stories which we know.

Anne and Petkovic, who earlier took a set off Serena, are a set and a break down, 2-6 1-2*

They eventually bit the old terra battuta by 2 & 2. cry

Not exactly an earth-shattering surprise! hmm
