Do so hope you get to see some tennis, HarryG

It's all in the lap of the gods but really frustrating, especially if it's happened to you several times before

Fingers crossed....


 Cheers.

I've been so many times now as it used to be my local tournament and have had some days where the weather has been great but many where it hasn't. Complete washout two years ago but at least we got our money back.

if it is sunny the main court is a real sun trap especially in the stand facing the umpire's chair which is in the sun all day. If you don't like the sun then book a ticket in the opposite stand.

The weather in Birmingham has stopped me from ever doing the trip, too risky. Hope for some play today although it might be good for Katie and Jodie to have another days rest!

Delighted for Venus. She is slow now bless her but she can still strike a ball. I read that Giorgi cheered when Venus slipped did anybody see that?

Bit of an uneven start for Katie. Went up a break, lost it, missed 3 break points

*3-4

Boulter loses a first set in 6 matches 5-7.

Perhaps might have been wise to skip Birmingham but lets see

I was hoping shed win a round then handily lose to be honest. But you never know.

Katie had a break in set two but then Zhu breaks back to even it at 4 all. Looks pretty useful this Zhu.

Katie misses a break point and it's *4-5

She looks a little tired which is hardly a surprise. Always going to be hard to back last week up immediately.
