Em and You were one point out of a seeded place, but actually this is a better draw than the 4th seeds got, and they would play them in the QF if they get through. You is on a 10 match singles losing streak, but has had some doubles success this year.

 Hopefully they can at least advance through a couple of rounds to the SF so that they reach points greater than Em's  current lowest counter of 25, though even 20 may well come into play in time. Em is due to drop 25 points (1/2 ×50) in each of the next 2 weeks in respect of 25K titles in 2019 so good points here would also help mitigate these.

Em ( with Sofia ) had a really good run in April/May 2019 and these points will be continuing to fall off through into June. I guess at least it's just 50% off for now.

You won a 60k earlier this year, so promising choice of partner.

 I definitely didnt win a 60K earlier this year. Mistaken identity

 OK, I won't nominate You for Player of the Month

 Ha. I am saving myself for later in the season

Raining hard, and only about three hours play there so far today. Doesn't look likely they will resume.

Just saw that Fran has been underway a little while. Not the best of starts though, *0-4.

There is a stream.

First set bagel. She did at least get 19 points, so an average of 3 points per game (3 deuce games, the rest to 30), so possibly signs that she could maybe get back into it, as opposed to losing most games to say 15.

Some great doubles in progress. Em and You lead 7-5 3-1*. Best I've seen Em play for a while.

Edit:- And they've stopped for rain .........

Have to say I thought their opponents were very solid and as you say it was a good doubles match. Felt you could tell You is a bit lacking in confidence and very uncomfortable on clay, and Em stepped up to take control at important times. 3 deuce points to break missed in the first set, and they missed 4 match points between 5-1* and *5-4, so could have been done quicker but they never looked in a panic.

Job done today, hopefully dryer quicker conditions tomorrow and they can do well.l
