Brengle has just taken her 1st set off Hev in 5 attempts (that's 5 sets, not 5 matches) - 3-6 *0-1

A Press Association journalist there says she had to retire because she was feeling unwell.

In fact, 3 of the first five R1 matches to finish ended by retirement, including both matches on Hev's court. It's hot (33C) but not that humid so maybe a bug is going around? Of course, the retirements could be completely independent but that's probably the least worrying explanation for her if it's true.

Oops - from 40-15, a double fault sets up a break chance for Beck ... in the end, JoKo has to fight off 3 break points before holding for 4-0*

JoKo takes the 1st set 6-1 ... then calls the trainer, apparently because she's feeling ill too

Edit: no sound and I've just realised it could have been an on-court coaching break instead - she could have just been looking like she felt a bit rough because it's hot and she often does! (hope that's all it was, anyway)

Edit 2: It was indeed just on-court coaching
