Week 45 - ITF ($25K) - Minsk, Belarus Hard

steven · Tennis legend

A bye in R1 of a 25K main draw, I thought - surely not!

I'm pretty sure it means she plays a qualifier.

I think Peter has fallen for that one before.

R1: WHYBOURN, Lisa (GBR) 301 v MIRONOVA, Daria (RUS) Q 481

Lisa is 3rd on court today and the first match on her court was long, so she is not playing yet. There is a live stream from the main court at http://www.protennis.by/live/ and while you can see all four courts on the stream (Lisa will be on the third one), it's only really possible to follow what's happening on the first court.

Lisa: "Angry Lisa"

My first thought was 'what have I tweeted to annoy her this time' ashamed but I assume it's something to do with the a match. Must be very frustrating after making that trip because she did seem to be coming into better form. Still, at least she did come away with a few points.

She did have a few discussions with the umpire so maybe she was angry about some of the calls.
