There are indoor courts on site, however you wouldn't get the centre court crowd in there.

Jo is down for 2 singles and a doubles match tomorrow.

 So why isn't Jo first on? it seems ridiculous that they schedule a 2nd round match before a 1st round especially given Jo may have to play 3 times today.

Jo is 2nd on Centre

Hev 4th on

then Jo 5th on if she wins.

Seems pretty optimistic expecting to get through 5 matches today...

Yep a rain delay now in the second round match now, surely if they are off for too long they will have to move Jo to an outside court there are 2 spare.

The second round match ahead of Jo's round one match has completed, Jo's match is scheduled and... immediately suspended.
Hard to fathom hat the Edgbaston schedulers are playing at, I can only think that they thought the first matches might get interrupted (as they did), and that they would put Jo on an indoor hard if that happened.
Is it the case that if you start on grass you have to finish on grass, or could you finish the match indoors if needs be?

It's not suspended, it was just stuck on that on livescores from last time.

Jo is playing terribly. It's like we've gone back in a time machine to 12-18months ago

3 shockers from 40-0 to waste three match points, a great one-two to get match point 4 and makes no mistake.

Well done Jo, 76(3) 61
