Jo playing with much more assurance today while her opponent is erratic. Caroline went 40-0 up and then lost 5 points in a row including two DFs. Jo *4-1 and Caroline has called for a physio.

Heather clearly injured - left hip/upper thigh - keeps stretching it and grabbing it.

Yeah Hev injured. Can't serve. Should have broken at 3-5* but wouldn't have held i don't think.

Shame for her not to be able to compete at her best.

Heather loses the first set 3-6 (to the ubiquitous obnoxious Olympic chant way in the back ground U S A - Keys just won)
She's actually played some of her better, smarter, tennis this year, here though.

Jo just broken, but comfortably ahead 6-2 4-2*

Jo needs to get this done, as Garcia is playing much much better now, and when she gets on a run, she gets inspired and it can be hard to stop it. 6-2 *4-3
Hev 3-6 3-0*

The win for Johanna means that she is our most successful Olympian in ladies singles since the re-introduction of tennis in 1988. We've had half a dozen people win their first match, but none have ever made round three. Until now
Can Heather match the feat?

Heather's remembered how she used to play! Have a go Hev is back! Maybe the injury is forcing her to do simple things, or limiting her in some way that is proving productive.

Johanna will play Kuznetsova, as the Russian got a walkover against Niculescu.

Moving a bit better but serve not full and Svitolina dropped level. Hev played a smart set though

Two soft games from Heather, and Svitolina moves to the brink of victory. 3-6 6-1 *2-5
