Coco had a really long match yesterday, didn't she?, against Teichmann? Which went to a third-set TB, I think.
So it's possible that (a) Coco is not playing all that well or (b) even if she is, she's pretty tired today.
So Katie's got a very good chance, I'd say

That was my thought too - does anyone know where I can watch this match tonight (overnight for some of you lucky ones)?

Andy - it will be on Amazon Prime if you have access to that. I watched Katies match last night on there and it is good coverage. It might be too late for me tonight (not sure I can do two lates in a row) but the good thing with Prime is that you can watch the full match later on if you want to.

Really like Amazon Prime for tennis (and shopping and other vids). Very navigable. Great value in my book.

Jo in good spirits down under but still not rid of her knee problems:

Having read former athlete Colin Jackson's problems with his knees unfortunately knee problems goes with the job in any sport. As regards tennis, look also at Kyle's ongoing knee problems.

Thanks - I was going to start a free trial on Sunday, which looks like I'd get the first seven days of the Open on Eurosport. At least I won't spend ages looking for it everywhere/

bet365 has it as Gauff 1/9, Boulter 11/2. I certainly think that offers good value re Katie. Gauff might thrash her but I think it's a more unpredictable encounter than the odds suggest.

Those odds are worth a punt.

Absolutely. I had 20p on Teichmann yesterday, which I lost, true, but only by a whisker - the odds were WAY more generous than they should have been. (And also had 20p on Katie B, so that was good).

6.5x is daft odds. Might crank it up to 40p
