Nice one, that's even better. I was on USTA website but you couldn't make it full screen.
Yup, I had the same problem and discovered this a bit late in the day. Still, hopefully Hev ( and Naomi) will be around in this tournament for a while and we can use it more.

Just for the record, I was able to get full screen on my laptop from the USTA site, with better quality picture than livestream and interesting commentary. Unfortunately I can't watch tonight so hoping for another win each and more to watch on Friday. I'm really pleased to see Hev getting stuck into a lower level tournament like this to protect her ranking. Good on her and I hope it proves very fruitful in terms of points.

It'll be a tough match for Watson as well, Lao is in very good form and just about at a career high.

In the last few weeks she has reached a US ITF F, QF and SF in successive tournaments and has beaten the likes of Bouzkova, Osuigwe (who won the title last week beating Bencic), Pegula, Brengle, Gibbs and Lauren Davis - that's not a bad little run.

Mine had the full screen button but wouldn't do it for me.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Yes, button wouldn't work for me either, using Safari on iMac.

And the match will be stored on the Livestream site, to watch later - bonus. (does the USTA site do that, I'm not sure? )
