 Which  number Eurosport does anyone know ? I'm watching via Amazon Prime

 I don't know about number, sorry. 

It's on Eurosport player, on the long horizontal list of matches they're showing.

Thanks - I just found it Extra 7 !!!

Phew, I saw 4-0 turn to 4-2, and had flashbacks of yesterday, but serving for the first set now, *5-2.

Well done Harriet, gets the set over the line 6-3. She struggled a bit when Talaba got into her groove, especially with the very heavy cross court topside forehand which was dragging her back and wide on her backhand, but I thought she generally managed to stay on the front foot and was patient enough to pick the right moment to take the ball up the line. Lots of nice winners in that route off both wings, including a nice forehand on set point.

Non Brit related, but I see Zvonareva backed up her comfortable Fran win by beating former UK resident Bolkvadze 3 and 1.

Also saw former top 30 player Schmiedlova won in about 50 mins the other day, and like Vera, has only dropped 7 games in her 2 completed matches thus far.

Checked to see where they were in the draw, and sure enough, they meet in the FQR tomorrow. That could have maybe been an actual R3 match with a decent draw. I see Vera did win quite comfortably in (the slightly different clay conditions of) Madrid the other week, so she will likely start as the clear favourite to advance.
