Jodie played a solid match to defeat Beth.

Nice to see Naomi get a win.

I think the oncourt coaching does her a lot of good.

In the other matches too, there's been guys telling her to be aggressive, ping her serve, go to the net etc. etc.

It's weird the way she lets herself get sucked into defensive back of the court rallies sometimes - it rarely ends well.

Greg R was helpful today too, with the process, and I liked the way Naomi said something about she was feeling good because she'd talked to her dad that morning and Greg was: great, if that's what it takes, talk to your dad every day !

Mind you, Eden was saying she'd been having a complete crisis of confidence - didn't trust her shots, had played a nightmare yesterday in the dubs and it was still in her mind .....

The way Eden' is playing right now, I hope she and Beth pull out of Palermo. I am a little surprised that she ran Naomi that close.

Beth was solid for the first ten games, ghen Jodir upped her game. More good coaching from the sidelines.

I think they already have TA. Pretty sure I read something on TF a day or two ago when people were discussing a potential Covid case in Palermo (nothing to do with them).

They are still on the list on the official tournament site when I looked this morning. But it WAS published a few days ago. I saw this morning that the supposed positive test from one of the players in Palermo was actually an antibody test, so a good result.

I think I may well have misread it. There's a poster on there called Spiceboy who supposedly has inside info from a player, and has access to their code or something, and he's pretty much always spot on, and has been a great source for entry lists for years, and I was skimming through the discussion on the Palermo entry thread (mainly for singles news):

https://www.tennisforum.com/threads/wta-palermo-entry-list.1375280/page-9

and saw this comment from that poaster on post #170 saying 'Looks like it's either Grey or Silva who withdrew today from doubles'

So I took that to mean it looks like it's either Beth or Eden who had the potential case (as it still was a potential case at this stage, although that was clearly wrong as both played yesterday, in which other posters subsequently pointed out) and that they had actually withdrawn from the doubles, but it might just be that he thought they had withdrawn from the doubles, putting 2 and 2 together, but he's not fully sure. Given he's normally spot on with entry lists, I assumed they had already withdrawn, but definitely not official.

The test I was refering to was Rosalie Van der Hoek, and I see it further down the thread you mentioned.

Although Mike Dickson has mentioned that there was another similar one.

 Beth and Eden are definitely not going to Palermo. They would have needed to leave UK yesterday in order to comply with Italian quarantine requirements and would therefore have had to leave the Battle of the Brits.

Poor Ryan, including the first Battle of the Brits he's lost in the match tiebreak something like 10 times now. Nevertheless, very impressive.

I'm enjoying all aspects of the event with one marked exception. Some players (especially Dan Evans, Andy Murray and Liam Broady) seem to think that they are watching a football match. Examples are chanting, making off-putting noises between first and second serves, throwing water bombs on court, cheering errors including double faults, putting off players when moving under the guise of being a ballboy and booing a 17 year old girl onto court. They may think it's harmless banter but not all the players (especially not most of the women-some of who have been reduced to tears) enjoy this behaviour. Apparently there is no Match Referee but hopefully the umpires and team captains could put a stop to it. Supporting your own team is one thing but denigrating the other team is something very different.

Very much enjoying Evans v Edmund mk2. Kedders much improved from the prior contest, pinning Evo back. Horns going off now!
