Looking like Kvitova at the moment. Cornet won literally 3 points in that opening set, not one on serve. 16 mins.
Edit - far more competitive 2nd set (it couldn't not be), but still comfortable enough. 6-0 6-4, so Petra up next for Jo, and still no Jo-Alize meeting, as ROSAMUND pointed out.

Apologies if this has already been posted and I missed it
L32:- Ajla Tomljanovic (AUS) / Heather Watson (GBR) CR218 (116+102) v Anna Kalinskaya (RUS) / Viktoria Kuzmova (SVK) CR101 (72+29) Not on today's order of play
Winners play Hayley Carter and Luisa Stefani (BRA) CR63 (32+31) [8] who won their match yesterday.
I hope it's not as she had the same problem a couple of weeks ago and that would show a real lack of professionalism if the same thing has happened again. It's only going to be the shoes or the socks, not hard to fix

Jo's match against Petra is on the Grandstand court at past midnight British time on Sunday morning. It favours Petra in not having to play in the heat of the day.
