Remarkably Jazzamay Drew has just hit back against the top seed Shelby Rogers taking the second set 7-5 after losing the first 6-1
Well, if she wants a top 200 scalp, someone who hasn't played a ranked match on grass before has got to be seen as an opportunity Still extremely impressive though (perhaps more so because the 1st set suggests Rogers wasn't finding it too hard to adjust!)

I thought the rain had struck about an hour ago, but WilliamDalton8 pointed out that Anna's score was still ticking over (2-6 0-3* v Rodionova) and Jackk321 has just said that "Webley-Smith is 6-3 2-0 up v Rogers, Broady was 3-0 final set last time I was there!" so it's just some of the live scoring gizmos that are taking a time out
Come on Emily!

FQR: WEBLEY-SMITH, Emily (GBR) 462 v SOUTH, Melanie (GBR) 474
H2H 0-3, 2004/2008/2012 - the one last year was on 'grass' in Japan and Mel won it 6-4 0-6 6-4
Very happy for those two, while kind of wishing one of those who is more obviously on the way up (i.e. one of the two GB seeds) was going to qualify. However, if success here turns Mel and or Emily's year around, so much the better.

Surprised that Mel beat Lisa but good for her she is better than her ranking. Emily on grass yeah she should play on it all year round she never fails to amaze
