A real changing of the guard this year.

Not just Laura and Heather, but we will now have 5 Brits in the top 200 with none called Elena or Anne.

Bally certainly has the ability and will to be at least top 150 again. Hopefully her body will allow it.

I know, I was just thinking last night - if someone had predicted at the start of the year that by early August, neither Bally nor Anne would be in the GB Top 5 yet we would still have 5 players in the WTA top 200, I wonder how many of us would have believed them. (come to think of it, maybe I should check the annual competition to see whether anyone did predict it!)

Johanna toughed it out but shame for Jade. She's definitely stepped it up this year.

Such a shame for Sam but I hope it tells her she can compete at an even higher level

No the webpage is still saying matches will start at 2:00 local time. That's 22:00 here, but no sign of a start yet.

I've just tweeted them and they say that it's still raining a bit and they're going to do an update on the weather situation shortly.

Jo now 5-1 up

And Jo finishes off the set 6-1. Zanevska did not hold once in that set, with her only game being a break of serve.
