Out all  day so only able to see Jo's result in the last hour. Absolutely fantastic. Never saw any  of this coming as recently as the 1st  round in Rabat. There has been some discussion about what Jo had to do to get seeded in the Grand Slams again. I thought on clay courts this might prove mission impossible. Bertens and Sakkari seem to be the top performing players on clay this year. However whatever happens against Bertens ,Jo has far exceeded expectations on clay courts this year.

Couldn't agree more. Hopefully now she can get a few wins in RG too.

They wouldn't move it indoors, they'd persevere. I'm sure there is preceden for Monday finishes and right now they are in fact on schedule.

Jo is 3 - 4 down first set but serving. Looks tight at the moment.

Has been several breaks, Jo was serving for the first set but it then became 5-5. She is now serving to take it to a TB.

Well, Jo could've and probably should've had that set. 5-7

*2-3 There has been a break a piece and then a pause in the middle as someone from the crowd fainted.

Jo had two BP's but couldn't convert - one was knocked off route by the wind. The other was a bad choice of shot.

Bertens DF's to give Jo the chance to even up the sets.

If anyone's watching the match, is the pundit Dutch because she's really only talking about Bertens? When Jo broke in the second set and then took the second set she didn't say a single word. Odd.

Anyway, well done Jo again to get back into the match. Interesting stat, that Jo has a 9-2 win record this year in three set matches.

 I'm watching on BT and that's Annabel Croft, but I'd imagine the person you'll be referring to will be Sophie Amiach who's French.
