If you think it's a 50/50 at best then you want to be getting on Andre. Bet365 have priced their odds and they have made Emily App 1/9 and Andre 5/1. That's not me questioning the above, especially if you have seen her play, that's me pointing out potentially great value. Emily was a 1/3 favourite in Singapore and other surrounding countries, against an Indian women stands out, and lost both times, so with her W25 record, 5/1 for any opponent looks good. You could turn 1 into 6, 5 into 30, 10 into 60 etc even cash out if the Lithuanian wins the first set or something.

With less info at this level, the bookies can sometimes price odds that look way out, like I thought with Angelica last week, and this could well be one of those, but on the other hand, if she is 1/9, even with her W25 record, you'd like to think she'd generally have a decent chance to win, from a GB tennis fan point of view.

Think I might put a quid or two on it. They are second on, so plenty of time for others to do the same.

Lissey is a battle, could go either way.
Freya and Emily is a good match, could easily go the distance.not sure where Freya's head is right now.
Kostic leads Beth, but is doing her best to drown out the planes overhead with her Azerenka impressions.
Angelica starting to struggle against Ahn, who has too much experience.

Ahh, 3 BPs pass Angelica by to get it back to 4-4. Which *game are you primarily focussing on TA? Many there?

*Or match, to avoid any Inverdaleisms.

I've been watching Freya/ Emily and Angelica, since they are on adjacent courts
The first 6 courts are in a row, so it is easy to move between them.
And there sre probably only about 50 people watching atogether, mainly support teams.

Coffee break now, to prevent dozing in the sun

Sounds good. And things generally going well for the GB players.

Freya started off by trying to overpower Emily, but it wasn't working so she started to mix it up a bit more.

Jodie was watching for a while, and is around somewhere.

Sam's through, as is Freya, which was my preference, so pleased, but it could be a case of battling performances, but not to be for some of the others.

Beth levelled her match up, but is down 3-4* in the decider
Angelica is 5-7 3-0*
Lissey has just saved 3 BPs, so still has her advantage for now, back at deuce and 6-1 *4-3. She now has a game point.

 

Edit - Beth out, but Lissey through (yah) since that post, but Greta has won 4 games in a row, and now has the break herself, so that is a tall ask for Angelica.

3 through, hopefully Naiktha will join them tomorrow, and I've mentioned Emily's odds, so fingers crossed. Anything else after that will be a bonus. It already does seem better than last week, same numbers through, but we had more players involved last week and obviously 2 all GB ties.

It's a bit quieter outside now that Kostic has finished.

Lissey through, although it was hard work.
Sam looked good and a straighfowadrd win.
Can't decide about Angelica - strikes the ball well, but is out-manouvered at times.

Mens matches starting shortly, londontennistube on hand with camera !

Tx to those who are there for all the courtside updates.

As Ace V says, it does feel better than last week.

Great to see Sam winning comfortably, Freya too (albeit v a Brit), Beth putting up a good show against the 5th seed, and Alicia's win is very nice - not surprised that it was hard work, Lou Adler makes herself difficult to beat.

Angelika (does she go by Angie or some shortened version?) has saved at least one MP and held serve, making Greta serve for the match.

And wouldn't it be SO nice if Emily App chose today to finally break her 25k duck......

I see Angelica has just lost 5-7 4-6.

Good performance but sad she couldn't get past the veteran Arn, not least because the win would have given her 10 pts and a WTA ranking. As it is she has 6 pts and 2 counters from the last two weeks, so now needs one more counter still to gain a ranking. Since this is it in the UK now, heaven knows when she will play again, since she has no national ranking to speak of.

Not sure how Ali lost that set 6-1. It was 3-1 and pretty even when I left to find some lunch.
