I'm pretty sure I remember Inverdale butchering it during Wimbledon one year.

Strongbow · All-time great

Fran warming up.

Strongbow · All-time great

Interrupted *3-3 first set.

19 pts each - 1 break each.

Doubles cancelled again today.

The weather looks unpromising for the rest of today and Thursday. Due to be dry from Friday.

There's a W25 in Oeiras next week (appears to be a different venue), Fran (M19) and Em (A7) are on the entry list, along with Beth and Lissey. Eden isn't though, but might still be there for doubles. Othewise it would be tough hanging about all week waiting to play.

Fran has restarted, and one other court is in play - I expect the other three will also start soon - unless it rains again.

Fran took the 1st set 6-3

indiana · Tennis legend

Rain delay again for Fran early in the final set.

6-3 4-6 *1-2 (15-15)

Yes it's about 15 mins away. Another lovely complex though by the looks of it. I suspect the rain is more of an issue for those in, or on the cusp of making, qualifying for Istanbul or Stuttgart. Çala Büyükakçay has already cut her stay here short.

Cagla has left because her former coach died.

Yes I've just seen that. Very sad news.

I think Fran was a break up (not sure)

But now 3-3, that's certain.....
