Wishful thinking I am afraid. Jo lost the 2nd 3-6

Etienne · Club Coach

Bloody BBC website.

It still has it going Konta's way.

Etienne · Club Coach

The BBC website has a win for Heather too. I hope it can be confirmed.

Sim · County player

Yes she won 6-4 6-3.

Great result

Plays Barbara Strycova WR23 next, probably later today

Two absolutely cracking wins.
Well done ladies.
Eastbourne does seem to suit and treat us better in general than the other UK events.

Oh had forgotten these two. Double yay !! biggrin

And in a stacked QF round Heather meets actually the clear second lowest ranked other than herself left. Strycova seems in decent form though and destroyed Muguruza in the L32.

Heather herself of course defeated (4) Cibulkova in the L32 which is liable to help in the draw.

Cracking week from Heather. Just what she need's to get back in the top 100.

Spectator · All-time great

Great wins! A good day for the women.

Well don't forget they are both due to play again today!!

Heather's match due not before 5:30pm on court 3 after Gasquet vs Isner. Tiredness could play a part. Hev's match was 1h:24, Barbora's 1h:43 but she finished about 20 mins earlier

Jo-Ko vs Angelique Kerber still shown as next on Court 1. Odds heavily stacked against Jo-Ko, her match was 2h:18 vs Kerber's at 1h:01 and Kerber must have finished well over an hour earlier. Oh and in case anyone forgot Angelique is WR1.

Algenlique ? Is she an anagram ?
