Should be plain sailing tomorrow, 1st real test in the semis.

 I agree that JoKo should beat Coin easily enough, but I think Karolina Pliskova will provide tough opposition in the quarter final.

 Missed that one, when I scanned the draw yesterday I thought that was a potential semi final lineup, my bad.

Circumstantial evidence leads me to worry that Johanna's match may well not be streamed today.

All the matches scheduled (Domachowska/Beck [currently streaming], Rezai/Vrljic, Koehler/SChoofs) are all on court 2.

Johanna is on court 1.

Two courts were streamed yesterday, but there is no indication that will be the case today. Indeed, the current match on Court 1 (Dolonc/Voegele) is not streamed, though the match on Court 1 in that time slot yesterday was.

If this is true, it would be a bewildering decision to me, at least.

Waiting anxiously now to see what transpires with the streaming (yes, not steaming ).

Okay well maybe the camera is not at the end I thought it was.

But it's not the LTA's fault. They are just stealing the stream from the betting sites, right?

Pretty sure she just lost 6-3 in the third.

Hmm...I'm 42 now, I fancy it would take quite a few years to get to earning decent money.However, if anyone knows any useful contacts or inroads I wouldn't rule it out.....

They are not playing on Court 1, you can see the chairs on the left.

If you look closely at the feed you can see Jo warming up to the right of court 2 I presume on court 1.

That's Court 3. They had the cameras on 1 and 2 yesterday, clearly they made a mistake in making 1 instead of 3 a camera court.

I'm confused.

On yesterdays order of play, Johanna was scheduled as Court 1. That was definitely the court furthest to the right in the hall; from the point of view of the cameras.

The court they are streaming today is court 2.

The chairs visible in the stream today are on what, yesterday, was Court 3, not Court 1.

Indeed, can now see Johanna popping in and out of view, warming up on the non-streamed court, in the corner of the streamed pictures.

So, unless anyone knows differently, we will not see Johanna's match today. Rezai/Vrljic is the only match available, though they covered two courts simultaneously yesterday.

I think I'm right? And, If so, bewildered by:

  1. Why Johanna's match is not streamed in a UK event, with her as the only Brit left in singles. She is seeded.
  2. Why only one court is streamed today when more were available previously.
  3. Why Court 2 is streamed in preference to Court 1 - presumably it's central location is better for spectators?

Maybe I'm missing something though. It has been known.

Yes Jo is definitely playing on the same court as yesterday, only reason I can think is that court 2 is easier to stream and that yesterday streaming 2 courts seemed like a good idea but it was also too work intensive.

I guess the LTA were thinking "let's stream the match between those 2 Europeans rather then the French Girl and the Aussie".

Yes, it's probably a Bet365 stream, but if they know which court is being streamed then they could schedule the matches accordingly.
