And Heather gets home. Oh yay !

Jo a bit stuck on final base.

the addict · Tennis legend

Bad fall for Jo - still being evaluated on court

DF · Tennis legend

Back up and takes match point no 4

blob · All-time great

What a great 10 minutes for the GB women!

indiana · Tennis legend

Hope Jo will be OK. Might indeed feel it later but thankfully seems nothing serious, might have been.

Fitzy on hand as bag carrier

Etienne · Club Coach

Kuznetsova has played two 3 setters today. You'd have to make Smith and Melchiar favourites, even given her and Bacsinszky's pedigree.

Sim · County player

Wow what results from Jo and Hev. Lots of drama but both make it through.

Hope Jo is OK.

the addict · Tennis legend

Live rankings has Hev at 102 after those two great wins today

Samson · Lower Club Player

Phew! What a day!

Fab from both women.

Jo was so solid against Kerber, I feared the worst after her fall. Hope she is ok and can play tomorrow.

Its Konta v Pliskova and Watson v Wozniacki

Jan · Hall of fame

Wow!
Heart in mouth stuff when Johanna fell - I was amazed she got up and carried on. I had visions of her having to pull ot of Wimbledon. Really hope she's ok.
Brilliant to have 2 GB girls in the semis!! Not so brilliant that I probably won't be able to watch much tennis over the next 2 days.
An all-GB final???... We can dream!

Anna and Nicole win their QF 3-2 retired

wimdledont · Challenger level

Anna + Nicole have won by retirement: while leading 3*-2, yet to drop a point on serve.

Chan + Hingis again next.

This takes Anna up to a provisional CH of WR54 or so, and the team up to 21 in the Race.
