Glad you got down CD and appreciate the insight. Hope the rain didn't spoil things too much

 It came right on lunchtime (if you like your lunch quite early) so the first hour was fine. The second hour was a bit more of a pain but it's very nice inside the marquee thingy, comfortable, reasonably warm, and lots of players hanging around so quite fun to watch - the Aussies, as normal, were on very good form and entertaining  

 I'm extremely jealous. I had always intended to go tomorrow for first round matches plus some doubles but can't manage the journey after all. Keep up the reports (of you go again of course)

On bbc sport article about Andy it states that Heather Watson, Katie Boulter (as well as Harriet) are in the womens surbiton tournament. Don't they look at the draws etc?

In the main draw, Sonay plays Lily - so that's a nice guaranteed win for a Brit

Beth has the 4th seed

Jodie has the 3rd seed

Harriet gets a qualifier

 A shame one has to go out so early, could be tight given Sonay won their last meeting in a third set tiebreak at the Pro League finals last year.

Nice analysis Droity. Down on jezza, surely not !. Thinking of going as well. Do that let anybody into that marquee thingy or is it just for the " Elite " types. Enjoy

Rain stops play again. It is scheduled to rain for most of the day.

The 11am start time seemed a bit odd given they are already behind and what the forecast is for today/tomorrow.

Grass courts do need to dry out, even from dew at this time of year if it hasn't rained. And it may well have rained in the night at surbiton as it was torrential in the night here (in the south but west of surbiton).

Oh absolutely true, but the courts with covers (I don't think all have them from memory?) would have allowed a slightly earlier start time. Even half an hour would have made a bit of a difference.

I think only centre and court 1 have cover. Surely organisers should have all courts covered to keep things moving when the rain stops.

Sun has been back out for a little while and covers are off, but by the time they actually get themselves sorted the rain will be back as Madaman says.

Play looks to be resuming on all outside courts. Hopefully will last longer than the last attempt.

No chance. Freya and Ursula still practising serves when they were taken off again.

asked this on the mens, but does Surbiton have indoor options if they needed them? Maybe to finish off qualies? Or later in the week if they needed them, say for the doubles?
