Amazing from Jo! There are also some highlights here:

That BP in the first game was amazing, must have had Makarova sweating a little!

Thanks for that murray 2k9. Italian commentary splendido. Bravissima Johanna Konta.

After a heck of a tussle over Heather's service game at 3*-4, Svitolina has the first set 6-3.

Can anyone really confirm that was Jo playing or was it an impostor :)?. She was playing top 20 tennis. Fantastic.

No worries- I did enjoy the commentary too! Whoever that bloke is, I'm sure he would be welcomed to the BBC alongside A-Rod!

Definitely impressive, but her composure was what really stood out - she didnt falter when losing break leads or being pegged back from deuce, just cracked on and kept attacking. Also very refreshing to see such effective all court play.

Will be an interesting match vs Muguruza anyway! biggrin

Heather v Svitolina is very entertaining at the moment, with Heather needing some good shots and a bit of luck but battling well in a high quality set and 6-5*

wimdledont · Challenger level

3-6, 7-5, ?-?

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Heather did really well to hold on at 5-5 and gets the reward with a break to win the set 7-5

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Svitolina looks flustered by the way the 2nd set ended - the key to this match is can Heather take advantage and break before Svitolina regains her composure?

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Heather gets the break, but is broken straight back 3-6, 7-5, 4-3*

Svitolina getting a medical time out for a blister

Break points so far Heather 4/4 Svitolina 4/13
