I hope they play outside tomorrow - the viewing is good at Chiswick - not so the indoor courts (they are currently using 8 indoors). I'll have to check the weather forecast carefully in the morning before leaving.
In terms of WTA points, there's nothing for the first round win in qualis, but 1 point for a FQR win?
And in terms of ITF points, there's 1 point for the first round win in qualis and 3 points for a FQR win?
The ITF points for the women were only for the W15s CD... I think we can safely say they are redundant now.
And yes, just one WTA point for qualifying, nothing for the QR1 win. MD entrants also get 1 pt, but qual entrants don't get an additional point unless they win their R32 match, in which case they get 1=5=6 pts.

No, don't think so Michael, the ITF points are for 25ks qualis too, and will carry on into 2020 and be used for admission entrance list

Oh you're right, they are there for the qualifying rounds. And yes, whilst they will still be used for admission entrance until next year, I'm hoping it will increasingly count for much less. I think the main issue is that the ITF reserved places at W25 level are going to become increasingly an anomaly. We will have to see if they are still retained until the end of the year.
Yes, I'm assuming the reserved entry places will go too.
But - from my understanding - the quali points are not 'until' the end of the year (that's for it all), they're into and continuing in 2020 and beyond. Seemingly, quite a lot of players were upset to lose the points they'd gained and there was an argument that it did actually serve some purpose for entrance lists and so worth keeping.
However, it's very much a 'watch this spot' sort of thing, isn't it, who knows exactly how it will all pan out....
Morgan won so that's another qualifier no matter who wins out of Ola and Suzy.
At least 2/8 qualifiers is a cracking return given the field, and if Holly S can beat Rush1ti (and guarantee another qualifier) then that would be amazing and probably beyond anyone's realistic expectations, when you consider 2 really good jr's in Zheng and Garland were among the 1-8 seeds, along with top seed Noel (who although looks like she struggled vs Iman) beat Naomi twice and Jodie when she was last over here in April, and 2nd seed Da Silva Fick who has had some notable wins in recent months.
Holly S is currently 4-3*, having recovered from an early break.
I even managed to put a 1 in Rush1ti, but did the wrong i, hence it being blanked out, ha.

Doubles draw is out and Beth, Freya and Emily Arb are involved so we can assume they have 3 of the singles MDWCs. Likely between Angelica and Sasha for the 4th. Hopefully singles draw will be out soon.
The fact Sasha is not in the doubles draw makes me believe Angelica will have it. Sasha has played doubles the last few GB torunaments she has entered, whereas Angelica didn't play dubs last week.

Holly S has gone from 3-1* to *3-4. She has come off 2nd best in a few MTBs this year, so it would be great if she could keep this on serve and take the set to avoid it.
Ali looks to have turned her match around from *1-3 to *5-3. Winners meet in the FQR.
