Excellent win by Jo, even given her form in qualifying and recent weeks I wasn't expecting that so it's a massive bonus.

Good timing from Jo as well for her career to really kick on after finally gaining British nationality

In the match to decide JoKo's next opponent, Govortsova is a set and a break up! So maybe it won't be Paszek after all ...

Maybe she's a Laura, only rising to big occaisions.

Govortsova beats Paszek - Jo couldn't ask for a much better second round opponent and she certainly has a realistic chance of making the third round here.

She certainly came very close to an upset at Wimbledon taking the 28th seed McHale to 10-8 in the 3rd. It's a pity there aren't any more Grand Slams until January.

She will be great for the Federation Cup team when Anne and Bally retire.

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

Yeah, and while Bally's injured.
