Donna leaves the court for an injury time out and after about 5 mins the rain comes down and play is suspended !!

 Wonder if it's the same injury as before against Gabi? (Lower back)

I only joined the stream for the last few games, so cannot say.  But I caught the conversation between her and  her coach nd she commented something about 'can't move'.  As I implied before I thought she was genuinely injured in her match with Gabi, and in the few games I saw just now she looked 'in pain' - of course mental pain stiffens one up but in my opinion that girl is carrying an injury.

Thanks Julia - bad time of year for her to be injured if so, Vekic is quite good on grass and is obviously defending a fair amount of points.

Jo breaks again, helped by a db 4*-3. Bit of a discussion going on with the umpire - a dodgy call for Donna?

Wasnt dodgy call. Clearly on the line but Vekic called it out. The umpire had to let her know that she cant make her own calls!

Cheers, I saw the ball hitting the chalk on the replay but didn't catch why there was a discussion

The umpire had a controversial last couple of games - Jo was fuming he called a time violation right after a mega-long point too.

(4) Johanna Konta GBR d. (6) Donna Vekic CRO 6-2 6-3 smile

At least Jo has defended her points here from last year which is a pleasant surprise. Hopefully she will go one further but Ash will be tough.

 Even if she doesnt win shes reversed her loss against Vekic last year. If her drop in performance is in part confidence, as well as being worked out, today should have gone some way to reverse this. 

Good luck Jo!
