McNally is no mug on grass and has come through qualies. Heather has no form. Not surprised to see McNally as a favourite.

Death to bookies smile It's our civic duty to prove them wrong.....

That first set was the key. And SO awful. Should be used in coaching sessions. (Art or not..... smile )

Lovely to see Heather win - and in two sets.

That must feel good.......

Based on their forecasting model, Tennis Abstract actually rates Jo as 5th favourite in Wimbledon

Hardly agree with this forecasting model.. Jo will need to considerably improve on her Grass court performances of 2019 if she is to get very far at Wimbledon. No quarter finals in any of the pre Wimbledon grass tournaments something she has achieved from 2015 onwards. Hope to goodness she improves on the Jabeur performance.

Great win for Heather. Hopefully less pressure on the 3 tomorrow and we get some more wins.

Jo second match on court1 on Tuesday.

First big women's draw shock - goodbye Naomi, second loss in a row to Putintseva on grass!

Looking at the tennis abstract forecasts I see Venus is the 87% favourite to win her match against Gauff. I would have thought it would be somewhat closer than that?
