R1: Joss Rae & Anna Smith CR 164 (82+82) defeated (WC) Lucie Hradecka & Francesca Schiavone (CZE/ITA) CR 181 (29+152) by 4 & 5

Sim · County player

Joss and Anna break back, and then break again to win 6-4 7-5. Good victory smile

Meanwhile JoKo is losing 1-4

Great win for Joss & Anna against a team including a singles and doubles grand slam champion

Is there a proper stream of Jo's match available (i.e. apart from the Bet 365 one)?

Are you sure, Sim? The third seeds' match against Niculescu & Parra wasn't due on court until after Joss' & Anna's match & it's not showing up on the live doubles draw. confuse

I make that 16 out of 17 points for Jo and she is suddenly in command of the second set *5-2

No, I messed that one up! Got confused with Chang and Zheng's match which has finished.

Jo needed the insurance break but levels the match at 4-6 6-4.

Two impressive long points from deuce by Jo to seal the set, but up until that point there has been no real rhythm to the match and could go either way.
As I write play is suspended so definitely no momentum for either player for the deciding set but I don't think that's a big advantage for either player. Surprising it was suspended with the sun still shining though, but I'm judging from a far from high quality stream!

I hope Jo can come out fighting tomorrow and take the final set. A shame that they had to stop when the momentum seemed to be with her.

A typical JoKo kind of match so far. From the sublime to the ridiculous and no idea what going to happen next!

Bit more late in day frustration for Jo and Phil (?)

But at least she's levelled it up.
