I'm guessing the scorecard going means Jo lost the last 4 points from 2 SPs up :(

Ah well, c'mon Heather and Vogt is a set up against Svitolina....

Scenarios from here:

Win 2-1: No damage done, will all come down to Ukraine tomorrow
Lose 1-2: Not a disaster, would come down to sets/games if we beat Ukraine 2-1
Lose 0-3: Would be a disaster

Let's go for option 1 :)

Definitely seems that Svitolina is not on it so far in this event. Of course that doesn't mean she won't play well tomorrow

Oh Jo. That is so, so bad.

Pretty much a carbon copy of her tiebreak against Babos last year as well. Hugely disappointing

I would think that once Heather wins ( yes, Hev, you will ! ) we will stick with Joss and Anna for the doubles today.

The one question would be bringing in Heather ( and they might still want to see this today ), but I still imagine that's more of a thought for if it's 1-1 vs Ukraine and the doubles is a group decider. And resting Hev after her singles is clearly a consideration.

A lot would depend on how they are all performing out there, day to day.

God and now Heather is a double break down.

We're going out :(

Keep fighting! !

Wasn't expecting this sort of start from Hev - hopefully it is just a slow start.

First set 2-6 - we are definitely going to have to win this tie the hard way.

Does anyone have any idea what the score is? LS has frozen and the SB has disappeared from the stream (which is very stop-start and hard to follow!)

edit - at which point the LS starts to work again!

The scoreboard keeps stopping, but is showing Hev 4-3* up in second set

Azarenka in trouble as well.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

She takes the 2nd set 6 - 3. Big PHEW !!!!!!
