2 more SPs for Fran and one will be on her serve...

And she takes it on her second, get in. 7-6(5).

Emma Rad faces Savinykh in the next round, the former top 100 player who Maia beat in the Shrewsbury final, rather than the seeded Georges.

Gutted for Freya. Doesn't seem to be ale to get her mojo back.

The only problem is it'll probably Bolton before she can get a chance to add points and she's used 2 of her ITF MDWCs already. There definitely are signs though (even though I obviously didn't see it) and it was good that she came back from either 2-5 or 3-5 to get it back to 5-5 and didn't just go away as CD said. It really is a shame.

You wait 16 games for a break and as usual, 2 come along at one. 3-3*

Make that 3 , *4-3

Yeah, decimals do make it easier when you put it out like that, especially when comparing something like 4/5 to 10/11 or equivalent, but fractions are by far the most common type in the UK and you'll normally have to manual change your preference to decimal and all the in play adverts will have their promotions in fractions, so my mind just works that way, but appreciate some of the close ones it can be a bit of a hassle to work out.

Got to say I still find the 'old' way easier.

4/5 - chance of 5 in 9. 10/1 - chance of 1 in 11. x/y - chance of y in (x+y). Simple.  But I'm that old guy who a few days ago became eligible for a free bus pass 

5-5*, broken to 30.

 Indeed, happy birthday.

I do prefer fractions as I'm most use to it, but sometimes, I do need to work things out. I know 4/5 is (just) more likely than 10/11 because I'm so used to seeing those respective odds in match ups, but in some cases, I do have to work it out in my head when it's not obvious - e.g. say 5/4 vs 6/5, if I wasn't sure which was more likely, I'd convert them to /20 so it would be 25/20 vs 24/20 and therefore 6/5 is slightly more likely to happen.
