Has the order of play being changed because the BBC is still showing Emma v. Vondrousova as the third match? This is the only tie with the score at 1-1 because all the other finished for the day are at 2-0. The USA looks like they will lead 2-0 over Ukraine and Canada might well lead 2-0 against a weakened Latvian side.

Harriet might have had a few moments but this was not nearly enough. Have to try someone else.

Yeah, I was kind of trying to be positive 

I suspect AK will just go for Harriet as it is the safer option with her being in and around 100, but she's only won 4 games combined in her 2 clay matches this year, and you can't really see too much joy tomorrow either. She'll likely not even be considered, and it would probably be Katie S if there was going to be a change, but I'm with Dodrade, I'd personally go with Sonay.

I enjoyed the Emma match earlier, and it looks like it will be the only tie out of the 7 to be 1-1 overnight (one tie is currently on going, and another is yet to get underway).

 USA will surely lead Ukraine 2-0. Riske beat Yastremska where the first set featured a 18-16 tiebreak won by Riske.

Yeah, I actually watched the vast majority of that TB, and I was thinking at the time it's potentially one of the longest TB's I had ever watched live. I was hoping Yastremska would have come through to make the tie more finely poised.

I've never heard of one of the Latvian's, and the other (who has played a few Brits in recent years) is kind of just having modest success on the W25 scene at the moment, so it's going to be extremely hard for them to pick up 1 or 2 rubbers between them, never mind 3. With Sevastova on a long break, and Ostapenko pulling out of a number of tournaments, it doesn't take much for a very small country to be extremely hampered.

GB may be 1-1, but it doesn't really feel close, even if Emma were to get us off to a flying start tomorrow.

 Mentioning the Latvian team I notice that Diana Marcinkevica is in their doubles team. This is the player I saw beat Emma at the Wirral tennis centre in October 2018. She also had match points against Jo in Jo's early Fed Cup career. Re the Tie break it was the second longest tie break in Fed Cup history and took half an hour. One comment made on TF no doubt with Yastremska in mind was   "Any MTO's ?" . 

Conditions in Prague are cool so this is going to make it even more difficult for Raducanu .

Her game on clay really needs hot faster conditions . If she manages to beat Vondrousova that would be a superb result .

Emma struggling 3-0down. On bbc red button,  Naomi one of the commentators. 

What's Emma done now? I'm concerned about how often she's injured or sick.
