Not the way you want to win but good to see Heather progress.

Shuai is such a lovely person and great on grass. I hope she bounces back very quickly. Yes, Heathers serve looked great and dare I say it, she looked better than I've seen in a long time. It was just one set of tennis against an injured person though :(

Anyone know for sure if the Birmingham Premier (500) points are going to be deducted on Monday 21/06 given this Birmingham 250 is arguably a different tournament in which case maybe the 2019 points could be retained for now?

live-tennis is accounting for the Birmjngham 2019 points coming off. OER seems to have given up for now projecting past 14/06!

Yes, the WTA pdf confirms they are dropping. Its whether the tournament under the same license is held, rather than the same tournament, that determines if the points drop. The Mallorca license transferring to Berlin, hence the Mallorca points dropping.

Mallorca Open - Mallorca, Spain

There are indoor hard courts, but the viewing gallery is so small that in current conditions they would only allow player teams access. I saw Tara play there a few years back, and Judy Murray came to watch., she must have been Fed cup captain then.

Naiktha+ has lost the 1st set 2-6. Its 2-1* in the second set. I assume this is being played indoors as all single matches cancelled today.
