There is a live stream for all four courts they are using today. Note that the court numbers on the LTA page do not correspond to the numbers on the draw, but hey-ho, there are streams !
The 4 seeds and Emma are all overwhelming favourites today. Think any tennis I do watch today will be the Portugal event. I might catch a bit of the BT SFs tomorrow.
Wins for Emma (5 & 1), Grace (3-0 ret) and Lily (who must be disappointed in the opposition so far after another easy win 0 & 0). Milly a set up, but early days in the second
I've not seen any of it, but 5-7 3-3 seems a fairly encouraging score from Sofia Johnson against Millie, certainly more so than a lot of the other results against the more established, these past couple of days. Just saw she is 16 and 2 months, has she ever been considered reasonably promising?
Think I'll watch the conclusion to that match.

Constrasting scorelines between the top and bottom half. I was going to say good for Grace to get off quickly with another match later on (although obviously not great for Arabella), but Lily probably wasn't on the court too much longer.
Grace was *4-2 up, but then pegged back to 4-4, took a fall at either *40-15 or 40-30, lengthy lay off, Lily broke once they resumed, and Grace having more medical attention now.
4-5*
Looks like Grace has retired

Millie beat Emma 6-2 6-3 to set up tomorrow's final with Lily. Maybe the most likely final on paper once the draw was made? I didn't see any odds today, but Lily would obviously have been expected to make the final (and most likely win it), but I think Millie did generally perform better than Tanysha at SGH, and obviously had the Progress Tour Div 1 title as well, so it's definitely not a surprise final from my POV.
