I'm watching on BT so no idea how many would be tuning in earlier when Jo was on when it was more important, but I see there are circa 600 watching live on British Tennis' Facebook page now, thought it might have been more than that. If you have BT then you'll more than likely be watching on there.

I stopped watching after that, but it was about 800 after the first set of Katie's match.

Thanks. I wasn't expecting there to be commentating on (Facebook) which was good. If you had an hdmi cable or smart tv equivalent then I guess it would be just like watching on BT Sport.

I spoke to Jeremy Bates who confirmed that Heather was missing from supporting the other girls because she was sick. He added that even if she had been fit  today she wouldn't have been selected to play.

Donna Vekic not playing today - probably needs a rest after last week. So Jana Fett played the singles and lost in 3, so Georgia and Croatia are 1-1. If Georgia can wn the doubles and the tie, that group could be a lot closer than expected and it might be Serbia that come through instead of Croatia.


Edit

Tight first set, but Croatia pulled away and took the match 2-1. Serbia and Coatia both with 2 wins

Sadly we might not be making it to the top of our group.

Katie a break down in the third and Sakkari must be fancied to beat Jo. Hopefully Katie can dig deep she's dropped her head

Hungary 2-0 Slovenia, so that's Slovenia out and Hungary in a decent position. Would be good if Slovenia could win that final doubles rubber as that would make our path a bit easier.

If GB win the tie tonight (2-1 or 3-0), it'll be a straight shootout between GB and Hungary tomorrow, where the first to 2 rubbers will advance (win the tie), but if Greece turn this around tonight and win 2-1, it becomes a bit more complicated:

GB will be 1 win, 1 loss and 4-2 in terms of sets
Greece will be 1 win, 1 loss and 3-3 in terms of sets
Hungary will be 2 wins, 0 defeats and either 4-2 or 5-1 in sets.

Greece would have to beat Slovenia 3-0 or they would be out and 3-0 would make them 6-3 in sets, 5-4 wouldn't be enough for them to top the group. If GB beat Hungary 3-0 they would top the group regardless, but if it was 2-1 GB then it could well come down to games won between GB, Hungary and Greece if we all ended up with a sets ratio of 6:3.

Lots of maths involved, hopefully we'll win tonight and have a straight shootout with Hungary.

Not having Heather available for doubles is going to be a blow if Jo can't recover from a set and break down.

She's the class act on the doubles court of the team

 Hi ace- just to say I think you've got sets confused. Gb if they Lose 2-1 Will be 4-2 on rubbers and are currently 8-1 on sets ahead of jo playing (8-2) in running. Your logic is right but it's ties , rubbers, sets and then games. 

Could be v close though as you say

Serbia v Croatia looks like it could be down to the doubles. Konjuh seems the form number 2 but Serbia may take the other singles and doubles. Croatia probably favourites still but Serbia could well take it.
