I wonder why they have to continue when everyone else have retired for the night. Both are shattered.

 Have you watched the Oz Open? they play to 2AM (Oz time)

 Because the others were taken off for bad light and she's on a court with roof and lights?

Ha, I feel you. 

I've seen this too many times from Hev in tight situations - so frustrating. Arn is playing on one leg and one arm - and yet she can't seem to find enough power or length. 

I lost count of the times she had to win a point 5 times because she wouldn't come into the net in the second. Argh.

Wimbledon previously had a curfew time of I thought 10 pm. I recall Andy racing to beat it one time ( he didn't quite but they let it go a few minutes more )

 Im sure they overturned that and could finish so long as they didnt start a new match after a certain time, but I dont recall for certain

that is going to haunt Heather for a long time. A great post interview from Ahn, very endeering

That really is a very bad loss, hope she can find a way to rebound. Let it be a catalyst.

Fairly sure it's always been 11pm

I can't even. I'd be surprised if Ahn doesn't retire from her next match.

Oh well, mixed day. Let's hope we can get some GB wins tomorrow (and an English one in another sport :)).

That was worse than the time she lost to Beck. That return at 4-2 40-30* in the third she blew was so, so crucial, but she still should have closed it out when she served for it.

 

Absolutely gutted for her, just when it seemed she was finding some spark again it's a hammer blow

Sorry but quite awful from Heather. Her passive play on the penultimate point kind of summed it up
