That really is good news. It's not too often you want to see an all GB clash in the early rounds but when you're around 600 or above in the rankings of a 100k field then it helps. IF Naomi can see off Ons then we have a quarter finalist.
Doubles
Wins for Naomi and Asia over Tara and Conny 6-3 6-3
Excellent win for Katy and Harriet over the No 2 seeds 6-2 6-4
No joy for Emily and Sam who lose 6-3 4-6 3-10
Naomi 6/5 vs Jabeur 8/13 Grey 1/3 vs Richardson 9/4 Dart 2/9 vs Raducanu 3/1 Dunne 11/4 vs Gibbs 1/4 Murray 7/1 vs Kumkhum 1/16 Appleton 11/2 vs Bouzkova 1/10
So no Brits in any of the 4 non all GB matches are favourites to come through. Really hope Naomi in particular can as if she does, she should reach the QF at least and after missing Surbiton last week, she could really do with a run here.
There has been numerous upsets so far on the grass so hopefully that trend can continue.
