Brilliant from Jo.
I had to leave the house literally as the last ball was struck!
She is doing SO well

Blob's preferred opponent for Jo then :)

Does anybody know what time Jo's match starts? I see Kvitova has already won her semi

the addict · Tennis legend

It's scheduled not before 11am UK time. Coverage on BT Sport 3 starts then

Jan · Hall of fame

Jo takes the first set 6-2

the addict · Tennis legend

Pretty comfortable first set, could have even been a better score !

Not going so well in the second 0-4*

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I'm only able to follow scores. Any filling of what's going on would be appreciated

Jan · Hall of fame

Svitolina is definitely playing a lot better than in the first set.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

So no sign of any injury to Jo ?

goldfish · Futures qualifying

Jo serving at 84% first serves in set 2 so doesn't seem like an injury. Only winning 44% of those though. Also only on livescore

the addict · Tennis legend

No, no sign of injury. A few errors, but Svitolina is playing a lot better, and has just taken the second set 6-1. The comfort break after the first set obviously worked !
