Has Jodie Burrage been ill or injured in the last couple of months.?

 No, she's being playing in Portugal - three tournaments since the start of September, including one W25 final

 I had not looked at her recent results. It was just the one sided nature of her result  here that drew my attention.

 She's played a lot of tournaments since july, perhaps it finally caught up with her.

Looks like there was around 40 minutes play late afternoon, but no matches completed. So Saturday has one R2 match to finish, plus 4 QF's plus 2 doubles SF's
Men's is similar, athough it looks as if they intend to play the singles SF's on Saturday rather than Sunday.

Yes, I was just going to comment !
Unfinished matches first. Katy is third on Court 4, where play has just started with Bucsa serving out the first set.

Katy having difficulties with her serve

Katy lost 1-6 3-6

Katy's conqueror GGP beat Haddad Maia (again) in the SF, but is currently in a battle againt a local player in the final, who I assume is a MDWC. It's currently 1-6 5-4*

The Portuguese player had lost 4 R1s in a row since the retart (usually heavy defeats), and won her first match last week, before going down 0 and 2 to Lily in R2, so this is an absolute dream week for her, completely out of the blue.

Hi Deucebag. There are no ITF events scheduled on the calendar now in the UK for the rest of this year. I agree that the LTA should have tried to squeeze some in, but I guess that the implications of allowing international players in make it much harder to organise compared with the UK only events.
