They will be defending their actual points. So hurts those who did well at the start of the year.

Go Jo Ko, Go Jo Ko, Go Jo Ko . . .

6-2

Maza1987 · Challenger level

let's go.

JoKo loses an 11 deuce game in which she had 5 break points at hte start of the second set. Must hold here, that was a potential momentum swinger.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Which she does. Pressure back on JoLa.

korriban · Challenger level

Just switched on. Wow!

6-2 1-1

I don't know what work Jo has been doing on her serve itself (and possibly winning patterns of play behind the serve), but over the past few weeks her service performance has mostly been outstanding. There have been entire matches where she hasn't conceded a single BP and we all know how unusual that is in the women's game. Today is a similar story so far, 5 service games in.

I don't want to tempt fate, but clearly she and her coaches have been very busy.......well done, whatever they have been doing!

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

Oh dear 2-5 second set. I've no stream, what's happening?

I've just got my coat! wink

Come on Jo - I need you do pull through this one now!

Spectator · All-time great

And I thought that making a comment which immediately causes a negative shift was my province, Korriban! (And no, Ratty, if you're reading this, I don't really think it's causation rather than correlation

)

Hope that Ms Konta can indeed pull through. Recent results so impressive - a SF here would be great.
