Jo is playing with Laura Siegemund in the doubles and face Daria Gavrilova and Astra Sharma (Aus/Aus)

 I  think this is the first doubles Jo has played in 2019. Glad she wasn't in the Fed Cup for doubles! 

Re Katie Swan and the junior world rankings of 2015, Marketa Vondrousova was ranked 2, Katie 3, and Bianca Andreescu 4th. Sofia Kenin was 8th. However the top junior that year and hasn't reached the top 100 yet was Hungary's Dalma Galfi who played against Heather in the 2018 Fed Cup and Katie B. in the 2019 Fed Cup. Katie won a very close match.

Flink, Bara and Haddad Maia are the first 3 to qualify for the main draw. I'd be happy enough with either of the first two for Katie B, but would would prefer her to avoid the latter. Perrin/Rodriguez (happy with either of those), McHale/A.S. Sanchez, plus Bonaventure/Trevisan to be determined.

 Katie has got our Tara's Conny.

That's a decent draw for Katie. She is second on Court 2 following Y Wang vs Bouzkova which starts at 10pm (or 10 past anyway). Probably a bit too late for me, but if it starts by midnight, I might watch the first set - I assume BT will show it after Puig-Sakkari which is Centre Court at 10pm (or during, if it starts before that one finishes).

Katie 2/5 vs Perrin 7/4

Boulter should be on soon. Hopefully BT Sport will switch over when she starts. Although that would be a bit annoying for anyone currently enjoying Puig-Sakkari.

 

The match before Katie is finished, so she should be on in the next 10-15 mins.

I see the odds have slightly come in from 2/5 (Boulter) vs 7/4 to 8/15 (Boulter) vs 11/8 - you've not had a punt on Conny have you CD?

On BT Sport red button at the moment.

Thanks Ace - forgotten BT had a red button - was watching Puig/Sakkari and wondering why they hadnt switched.

Although I might be a curse as almost immediately Katie goes 0-30 down on serve at 2-2!

Looking like it's going to be a very even contest this. Boulter's been in a couple of vulnerable positions on serve - also had to save 2 BPs at *15-40 on her second service game.

3-2*

And Katie finally gets the breakthrough to take the first set 6-4. Overall has been the better player although made a few too many mistakes which made it all a bit more of a struggle than it needed to be

A couple of glaring errors from Katie in this set, that last one could prove costly. Still on serve in the second.

But gets the hold. 2-1*
