With it being carpet, thought this might have been indoor. Jodie was meant to play at 10am today but just seen the weather and it is raining and looks bad for most of the week.

Jodie was due to follow the match at 10am. The 10am matches on other courts have finished so there has been some play today but with strong winds and heavy rain forecast for this afternoon, it looks like most matches will be carried over to tomorrow. Tuesday looks a write off.
Most of the matches are indeed carried over to Monday. One first round match still to be completed, and one withdrawal by a WC giving the Q14 a walkover straight into FQR !
Freya's and Beth's opponents are now known
Linnea MALMQVIST 747 v Sarah Beth GREY [10] 608
Freya CHRISTIE [8] 528 v Olga PARRES AZCOITIA 954
And in the FQR Maia will now play Jodie's conqueror; they were the only two Brits who could conceivably have played each other in the FQR. So now we hope there can only be one winner...
Singles draw is still awaiting the endless unfolding of the qualifying matches, but the doubles draw is now out.
Emily A and Maia are playing together against the #4 seeds, Emma Laine/ Jessy Rompies (FIN/INA)
Beth and Olivia are playing together against a Spanish pair
Freya and Alexsandrina Neydenova (BUL) are #3 seeds and playing against a Portuguese WC pair (looks like their Fed Cup team).
Latest update on the wet carpet is that oddly enough the FQR matches are being displayed on livescores, whilst the QR2 matches are not. It thus shows that tennis is ongoing there. Maia's match can be expected to show first.
Thus far, Emily A, Freya and Beth's QR2 results are still outstanding.
Looks like Maia has qualified as she has beaten Jodie's conqueror in straight sets, the first via a tie break, so guess it was just Eden's result that was most disappointing as one of Maia or JAB would have had to have been eliminated anyway.
So 4 players into the FQR and of those, Maya has just won her match to qualify, after a very tight first set, which she won 11-9 on the TB, despite being 2 points down on the set. So a good win over Jodie's conqueror and 1 point for Maia.
Main draw is also up now, and although it would normally be good news that both Katie Boulter [2] and Katie Swan [6] are both playing qualifiers... there is a good chance that either or both could end being matched up with Brits! Beth has however just lost her FQR unfortunately 6-3 6-4, so that means only 3/8 qualifiers can potentially be Brits now...
Other q slots are against the 1st (Arina Rodinova) and 8th seeds. Two qualifiers will play each other. The worst and best options all available.
