I'd be surprised if Sonay asked for one to be honest. She's never previously played 4 consecutive weeks, and it would be 5 with Eastbourne & Wimbledon. Much better to have a rest.
Been refreshing the page a lot, but seems Sonay vs Jodie is 3rd on Centre Court tomorrow after the 2 men's SF's which start from 11am. The other women's SF follows Naiktha and Maia's doubles which starts at 12pm.

I remember seeing Naiktha playing both singles and doubles at Surbiton (pretty sure she was playing with Naomi Broady) and remarking that she seemed SO much more relaxed in her doubles match - played so much better, seemed just more on it, more enjoying it in the doubles, whereas in the singles she'd looked stressed and tight beyond belief
Various bits on livestream that I've seen since seem to back that up
As you say, she's playing some glorious doubles here at times
Terribly tight though - you'd probably put your money on a MTB here...
