Thanks for that Vamos, maybe the chilly weather put them off cheering for one another. Crowds a bit disappointing as well probably again the weather. Laura's on court coaching proved a success then, she then broke to take the set.

Thinking of going next year as my big sis lives in Shropshire, oh and I did spot you on twitter via GB tennis.

Very confused about the OoP for tomorrow:

http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/SEWTATour-Archive/posting/2010/504/OP.pdf

Says Baltacha or Kanepi vs Groth is 3rd on court 1 and Keothavong or Parmentier vs Na Li 4th on centre....but there first round matches have not been played yet and aren't on the schedule for tomorrow...?

Taking that into account, the (potential) British interest tomorrow is:

Centre - 11am start

3rd - Laura Robson vs Yanina Wickmayer [3]
4th - Anne Keothavong or Pauline Parmentier vs Na Li [1]
5th - Liezel Huber/Bethanie Mattek-Sands [1] vs Laura Robson/Heather Watson

Court 1 - 11am start

3rd - Elena Baltacha [12] or Kaia Kanepi vs Jarmila Groth
4th - Sarah Borwell/Raquel Kops-Jones vs Anastasia Rodionova/Arina Rodionova
5th - Anne Keothavong/Mel South vs Marie-Eve Pelletier/Ipek Senoglu

Weather looks pretty dodgy though...

I'm guessing when they printed that they thought todays matches would still be completed, and they haven't done a revised one yet.

Anyone know if there is any chance play will be moved indoors tomorrow, and if so where is the indoor centre they will play at is and how do you get there? I would go tomorrow if I knew I would see some play.

They are on the OOP now: Bally plays second on Court 3 before she plays, if she wins, 4th on Court 1. Anne plays second on Court 1 before playing, if she wins, 4th on Centre.

I can imagine things going horribly wrong with that schedule!

There's now a revised schedule up at http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/page/OrderOfPlay/0,,12781,00.html which has Elena 2nd on C3 n/b 12 then possibly 4th on C1 and Anne 2nd on C1 then possibly 4th on CC, with Laura still 3rd on CC.

This holds out the prospect of both of them having to play very tough R2 matches against a member of the ultimate Brit-bashing couple (Groth) and the no. 1 seed (Li Na) respectively on the same day soon after finishing their R1 matches, with those potential opponents playing their first match of the day.

Lots of rain is forecast though, so I'd say the best outcome we can hope for is that there's enough play for them to get their R1 matches finished but, if they win, the R2 matches get held over until tomorrow.

Not actually raining in Birmingham this morning but very grey and over cast.

Was @jake_andrew08 who was kind enough to tweet me weather updates from Birmingham yesterday one of you?

I'd DM him on twitter to ask, but unless it's just twitter being silly at the moment, his account seems to no longer exist!

Ah ok - thanks very much then! I'm not sure how much I'm going to be at my desk today but I'll tweet what I can. Not sure how you're accessing twitter from work either - do you need me to DM you the scores or will you see them ok if I just tweet them 'publicly' as normal?

Forecast was diabolical for Birmingham all day, but radar picture looks quite clear at the moment.

Elena now playing but an early break down cry.gif *1-4

Kanepi has won 17 or her last 18 matches, all on clay, but has only ever won 1 out of 7 main draw matches on grass.
