No results yet on the ITF site but I see that Curro Tennis is streaming matches from most if not all courts on their YouTube channel  - no Brits currently in action.  Look at the ITF page for the oop

Millie 1set up 6-2. Some dodgy line calls going on. Millie hit an ace on set point, opponent calls it out. Then in the point her opponent hits a cross court backhand winner. Millie calls it wide to win the set.

Hep won 4-6 6-4 7-5

they appear to be playing no net rule. On match point Heps opponent hit a let but they played on.

Could be a big tour for Hep. Some big points available and could see a huge rankings increase

 biggrin

You should see veteran matches at high level that are self-umpired - it goes on so much - the first dodgy one leads to the next 'retaliation' one - and by the end of the match they're calling balls out that are about a foot in !

 Is that court 6? It says Millie Skelton but that sure does not look like Millie Skelton playing right now.

Interesting to see Ella Mcdonald is playing doubles only with Hep.
Hep has not got a full counter of doubles points yet
