I've just looked at the schedule for tomorrow - makes me hopping mad! OK it's the only day I want to go for the whole time - 16 singles being played with 4 Brits in the draw - so what have we got? 1 playing - Katy - and out on court 3 - what an insult to her? why not put her on centre court?

 In every other country in the world I suspect Katy would be on centre, very strange. I hope that's not set a precedence for Tuesday, I suspect only Hev will get on centre.

BT sport are covering this event so the Brits will probably appear pn centre on Tuesday to fit with that (maybe not Naomi though)

Ok so I think everyone would agree with my earlier post now that she has overtaken Tara and Sam now . I will also say one main Draw win and a Wimbledon WC should be granted. Otherwise a QWC. I'm sure confidence wise she would do just as well and rankings wise it might take her into the top 300 is she qualified.

Over to you Katy, our seats are wobbly waiting to fall over please

I'm waiting with bated breath for what you'll say if Katy now draws Hev, beats her and then beats JoKo in R2 wink

 Yes well that's something to look forward to if she wins more. No comment for now my work is done for now

A bit disappointed with the scheduling. Katy has done fantastically well to make the main draw, but not to put two Brits on Monday is disappointing.

I would have gone tomorrow, if there were two Brits. Much as would like to see Katy again, I shall be going to the cricket and will be at the tennis Tues -Thurs. Lets hope I still get a chance to see Katy play.

 My thoughts exactly, would have been tempted to go to Nottingham instead but I've bought the tickets now, will learn my lesson for next time.

Katy's is the last match scheduled for court 3 and the odd shower is forecast, so who knows she might end up carrying over to Tuesday....

Centre court is on BTsport right now. Court 1 is on bet365 and other streams presumably.

I agree, quite ridiculous scheduling of Katy.

Provides all that interest, presumably folk do want to see her, live or on stream ( you know, get involved with a young British prospect ) and she gets put on last on Court 3.

Jeez, LTA, wake up, smell the coffee !

They are just keeping her for another round or two before centre court that's all

By the way I know the cut off has passed but 3 main draw wins here and she would be ranked 250.....

Katy's match moved to Court 1 to start soon.

 

Katy makes the perfect start, with the help of a couple of Giorgi double faults *1-0

Katy broken to love *4-4

Then breaks to 15 with the help of 2 dfs, and the first point she's won against Giorgi's first serve *5-4

Holds to love in no time 6-4
