I don't want to jinx it because the first set isn't even in the bag yet, but you almost feel sorry for Paula. She's only won 6 points so far.

5-0*

Sorry? Nah, she just needs to be let off court asap so she can go and get that coffee she's missed!

Emma has missed 3 SPs though on BGs serve now..

Well, that was a rather good watch and a cracking set.

If anyone is feeling pessimistic that at this point there will be no GB representation in tomorrow's semi final, you can get a 14/1 double on PBG and Shinkova to win.

It says toilet break now... but I think that's a coffee break for BG wink

Unfortunately, the unseeded Dutchman is well on his way to beating his seeded compatriot. He was actually serving for the match at 6-4 5-1, but the other guy has a break point, but either way, you'd think Jodie would be on soon - I was hoping that would have gone 3 sets.

Edit - Botic VDZ saves at least 2 BPs, holds and wins, so Jodie will probably be on in 10 mins.

Wow, while I was following the latter stages of that match, didn't realise Emma was back on and has already broken to love and *40-0 up.

Must have had latte, not expresso, because it isn't working yet. 2-0*

Wow, 2nd serve ace out wide.. 2nd ace in the game for Emma.

She has some game does young Emma. BG has hit some good first serves and Emma is still winning the points.

Jodie underway and comes through a long service game, saving at least 3 BPs. 1-0*

This 4th Emma game is probably longer than that first set, and it's still going.

Shinikova on the board, 3-1*

Yes it was almost. 26 points in the end and BG had 8 BPs in it, but Emma comes through eventually...

The stream camera is a lot better on Emma's court. Both going really well.

Jodie is now 4-1* up - and all 5 of those games took place during that 4th game of Emma's!!!!
