Who is Katie's coach - he looks familiar ?

I'm not watching but is it Diego Veronelli?

Here's what Wikipedia says:

2018: At the start of the year, it was announced that Swan had joined Andy Murray's 77 Sports Management with a statement from him Katie is a player Ive been watching for a while. Shes got great potential and has already had some good results. Im hoping we can offer support to her in areas on and off the court and complement the team she has in place already. Subsequently adding former Heather Watson coach Diego Veronelli to share responsibilities with existing coach Julien Picot.

A good performance from Katie S and a useful little sum and experience gained, but no points to speak of. Loses in the third 3-6 6-3 3-6

 Yes, it is. The few games I saw before I went out included him coming on court

 Yes, yes, that's the one.  I remember him now  with Heather.  Great coach and seems a really nice person.

 It's a shame he's not still with Heather as she reached her career high with him I believe.  I thought they had split up because he didn't want to travel so I was very surprised to see him appear with Katie S.  I wonder if she can afford to pay him more?

A shame for Katie but good experience.

It's funny how 3 months ago Katie was struggling with players ranked around 300 and now she's competitive and winning some match against the 80- 120 range.

It will come. I feel like a big run is just around the corner for Katie S. I compare her to Harriet, Katie B, Katy D ad Gabby but she 2-3 years younger than them.

Nope, not there either - and there are 2 byes in the doubles draw at Southsea.

This is fairly grim viewing. She was such a joy to watch here last year

Mix of good and bad. The usual mix from Hev - some fantastic shots, and some bad misses. Kiki's serve is all over the place.
7-6(2) 5-7

I really can't believe Anna wasn't given a WC to play here at Eastbourne. Only one WC has been given there and their ranking can't have been much out anyway, even if at all. And if not here, then why not at Southsea given the byes? nodisbelief

Harriet moved to centre court. Please can BBC or Eurosport switch to that match.

Pity though it did have the 'promise' of such. As was said earlier these are not exactly in form players and not for a while. May Heather one way or another win the decider.
