I say this every day but UJs should be clawing back the deficit tomorrow. Great to see Harriet involved in singles.

 Yes I agree Paul about tomorrow potentially being comeback day. Some surprising nominations. Seems a waste of Kyle in a 1 point singles. 4 big names not playing at all-Jo, Cam, Katie and Dan

Will be interested in the Heather/Emma and Jodie/Harriet matches and the mixed with Jamie.

 Cam and Dan have played every day so far? Dan definitely played twice today and it makes sense to rest him/both of them.

 Certainly those matches, but I am also intrigued on how Naomi/Maia turns out, as well as the Nicolls/Barnett v Grey/Silva doubles match as it is two regular pairs.

It's great that the likes of Jodie and particularly Emma, those who many have high hopes for, are getting so many matches on the main court and BBC platform - it really is great exposure and experience for them, and it's even better that they are both giving very good accounts of themselves. A fair few tuning in might not have even heard of them 4 days ago, but some may now be more inclined to follow their progress on the tour (if/when they get the chance to play).

It's obviously widely available, YouTube / BBC online / iPlayer etc. but I think the Red Button helps as well, with it being Sky Channel 981 (or equivalent) and similar on Virgin etc. as it's basically it's own channel that you can easily record, pause, quickly change channel during breaks, and so on. I personally prefer that for ease of use instead of phyisically loading something up numerous times. It seems to be on the RB channel all day tomorrow, but the snooker world champs takes over on Friday.

 Has Jo played a couple of matches and that is her lot so to speak?  It wasn't like the Fed Cup where her presence was necessary.

I also enjoyed Katie Swan on the comms for the Jodie/Emma match. No Laura doing comms?

Jo has to play again at least once. Every team player must compete at least once Monday-Wednesday and once Thursday-Saturday.

Apparently the viewing figures for this across all platforms are quite good.

 I've looked up the rules as well and agree with above.  It would be logical if she played Heather in the singles. Although in the event she doesn't play again I bet knee trouble will be mentioned. One reason for good viewing must be the fact that we've been deprived of tennis on the BBC etc. because of corona virus.  It's on at the right time as well.The Murray family have to be congratulated for their efforts. With a plan B if the weather is bad they can always play indoors. So no reruns of old matches.

 One problem with Lauras' commentating was that she was  friendly with Katie Boulter and it did not make for good commentary. To be honest I think that both the Naomi's Cavaday and Broady(when not playing) are better commentators.

 In what way - when Laura would commentate on KB matches or something else? I agree that both Naomi's are good, I like Anne K as well. It does seem to be more female comms than men as well, as far as former UK players go?

Yes she commentated on Katie's matches in the Fed Cup last year and said she found it difficult to commentate because Katie was a friend of hers.I don't know what she would of made of Katie v.Jo here.'

 Is Laura good friends with Jo also?
