Not sure where you got that info from as the current schedule on USTA site and ATP site is showing Jo as not before 7.30pm local, ie 00.30am UK time I think!
Alex's match is first on, and the only men's singles or doubles match at that time, so I'm sure that one will be screened even though on stadium2, the USTA site is easy to access and has good pictures. This is the link http://www.usta.com/Pro-Tennis/Pro-Circuit/pro_circuit_live/

Yes, I agree, as highlighted.

I saw the order of play and JK's match time on it. I proabaly should have stated that the time I gave was already converted to UK time.

I also previously went to the link that you posted above, but could not see a match by match schedule.

Predicated on the ITF match with Mattek-Sands being streamed yesterday at about the time Johanna is due to play today, I pre-supposed that there was, "a small chance it might be streamed in that case". If they stream one of the evening session matches, then JK's match has a 1 in 2 chance of being the one. However. I'm not sure whether any of those matches are due to be streamed, as I can'yt find a match by matche schedule of intent, as mentioned previously.

Sincere apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

DF #1 from Johanna hands Shelby Rogers a break point - same thing she's been doing all week - that ones not taken, but the next is, and the break is secured, 1-2*

NB: The parallel ATP match is being streamed, and as the camera is quite wide angle, every so often you can see Johanna or Shelby pop briefly in to the corner on the adjacent court to play a shot or serve.

Play suspended - RAIN.

And according to the USTA commentator next door: "some humongous storms coming in and 50 mile an hour winds!"

The forecast does look ugly!

Johanna breaks back, *3-3

Rogers 1st and 2nd serves had been very strong in her first two games, but Johanna forced one break poin and that's all she needed.
JK's managing to keep her serve % decent right now though, and I think it'll need to remain that way, as her 2nd serve is currently being gobbled up by Rogers.

All week long, almost all Johanna's service games seem to go to deuce, and tonight's no different; as she fights off 2 break points in a six deuce game to edge ahead.

4-3*

Another long service game for Johanna, fighting off two break points; in a game including an ace (her 4th tonight - out of nowhere), and a DF.
4-1*

You're right. Very promising. Fingers crossed!

Now, 5-2*

So far a much better serving performance from Johanna, carrying over her Set 3 level from her previous match, rather than the pretty woeful stuff of her other 5 sets this week - it's been effective no matter how though!

Let's see this one through!

That UK exhibition will probably be something to do with the University of Kentucky rather than anything British related.

Of course!

31°C (Heat index means it feels like 34°), 55 % humidity, and 40% chance of thunderstorms!

Johanna now on court, and serving first.
Good luck!

So no play tonight then?

Looks unlikely, but no official termination yet.

The storm will apparently take about 2-3 hours to pass though. The tourney's right in the heart of Lexington and the wind looks like it's gonna blow the whole thing right through there.

But, you never know!

Shame! Hopefully they will move them indoors, or two matches tomorrow would be unfair

insomniacfolder · Challenger level

Ha! Can't trust anyone, they're back on!

Pegged back to deuce

Peter too · Tennis legend

After two games going with service to get to 5-4* Johanna reaches 40-15 and two set points on Shelby's service.
Shelby wins 3 points to get to advantage but then back to deuce, DF gives Jo another set point which she takes 6-4.
