Good news that all courts are streamed, I'm actually really looking forward to watching. I've read 3 or 4 different links on this thread, but still can't see anywhere if it is meant to be played indoors or outside - anyone know? Weather doesn't look too ideal if outside.

I thought I saw somewhere that they were using the outdoor courts, but I can't find it either. Oh well, we'll know in 12 hours !

Yeah, I'm sure I read that initially too, but strange that it hasn't been re-emphasised since. Hopefully they'll be able to go indoors if it was outside, and the weather isn't great.

Yes, that's where I saw it, I remember it now. Strange that it doesn't seem to be repeated on the other pages.

 Thanks Red Squirrel. I have always felt the LTA make their pages hard to navigate and find information, this is a prime case!

Looking at the live streams, weather looks v grey but dry, and they are just about to start knock ups

Weather looks similar to that here in Essex - grey clouds, dry, warmer than it looks.
Hope they put the scores on the screens - I have both matches up with the sound off.

 Ditto, but just switched off as I was getting distracted!

Squeegee machine out on court 3. Court 5 being done by hand

I'm hearing that Marni leads Sam 2-0 and Amelia leads Grace also by 2-0

Hmm, think I'll just be dipping in and out, although with it being outside, doubt we'd have any choice anyway, ha - going to be constant interruptions over the next 4 days. No scoreboard is very frustrating as well, and it's even harder to follow the live scores as no bookies seem to have any odds for it, despite them covering Israeli exhibitions and what not. Not sure if they are other scources where you can follow?

I was probably and seemingly being too optimisitic, but I was kind of half hoping with it being the first tennis for months for British (female) players, and a relatively decent field with a good mix, they might have had Abigail or someone doing a bit of comms on the main 'show court', but it is as basic as you can get.

Bet365 have odds for five of the matches - all of the higher ranked players are odds-on to win.
Beth is the closest of the "underdogs" at 7/4
