QR2: (q2) Heather Watson WR 92 v Kateryna Kozlova (UKR) WR 184 (CH 177 last Aug)
May be the TBD v TBD match (I think they were in the last two QR2 matches to have finished up to now) which is scheduled to be 4th on Court 17 on Friday or may be played on Saturday:
FQR: (q4) Johanna Konta WR 102 v Yuliya Beygelzimer (UKR) WR 161 (CH 83 in 2006)
Edit: They mystery 4th on Court 17 match did indeed turn out to be this one.

When Jo called her injury timeout I assumed it was just to try and slow the match up as she was not playing well at that point, but she did then have the trainer back on at the next 2 sit downs to manipulate her back some more, so presumably she did have a problem. After the treatment she refound her form and serve and looked comfortably the better player like she had in the first set.
When she plays well you wonder how she is not well inside the top 100 as she is very solid and her serve is such a weapon but then she has periods like in the second set today where she isn't just missing shes missing by yards. It sounds strange but I think she needs to improve her level when she isn't playing well and make the lows less low, because when she is playing at a good level she looks very difficult to beat.
Heather did well to turn around her second set today when presumably not feeling great. Hopefully she'll be ready to go tomorrow. In the first set without playing her best she looked in a different class to Falconi.
The BBC are reporting that Heather must win 2 matches on Friday to qualify...surely that is an error and qualifying can be extended to Saturday? Would be really unfair if not
I'm hoping she won't have to play two. There's still a lot of 2nd Round matches to go and there's nine 3rd Round games that haven't been scheduled yet.
It wouldn't be really unfair if Heather did have to play twice ( maybe a bit unfortunate if she's not feeling great ) since the match to determine her potential QR3 opponent is also scheduled second on court today.
Though I'd be very much against any of the players having to play two matches today unless the weekend weather forecast is really grim.
