The BBC female sports reporter on the 10pm news at Wimbledon has just referred to the Clarke-Dart incident as ''alleged dumping''-twice. Are they saying that it's a figment of Harriet's imagination?

Not all of the catch-up videos are available yet on the BBC website - with a bit of luck they will appear, it does sometimes take a while. Court 2 is listed, so fingers crossed for you!

Jan, thank you so much. it's not available yet, but looks promising -( I had given up altogether.)

I see that Jay & Coco's R1 mixed doubles is scheduled for Court 2 on Saturday following Andy's men's doubles R2. Linnette vs Kvitova starts proceedings off.

So a very unusual 1st Saturday Court 2 schedule:
Women's singles R3, men's doubles R2, mixed doubles R1

With Heather ( OK, maybe Harriet ) on Centre plus Jo and Dan on Court 1, of the 9 scheduled matches on the 3 main courts there are Brits in 5 of them. And Andy & Serena's R1 mixed doubles is once again 'TBA'.

Heather isn't on centre Indi? Andy has to be on the show courts for security reasons.

Oh of course! Makes sense though a Brit and the current no.1 who I don't think has been on centre yet.

Talking about integrity of couples, just a passing observation that presumably Joe Salisbury could have had his pick of mixed doubles partners?

Not saying at all that Katy is chopped liver - she's got a very decent doubles game - but she's obviously not one of the top picks, given her ranking.

And given his ranking, Joe could have chosen someone far 'stronger'?

But he didn't - and good on him.

Jay and Cori/Coco not going to plan...

But Evan and Eden seem to be doing very well!

Did anyone seriously think they were going to win? (Jay/Coco that is)

I thought the bookies had that one right.

Of course, there's a way to go and Ostapenko can be a liability to herself but....
