Didn't he end up killing himself though?
I mean, yes he did but what's that got to do with Jo (or Jodie)?

My point is wouldn't that rather shake your belief in anything he had taught you?

Not sure how they are connected, tbh? It is v sad the coach killed himself, it is sad when anyone does, but it doesnt take away from the validity of what he was able to help his clients with.

No sign of the match showing on Eurosport or Amazon Prime despite paying £7 subscription.
They're all on Discovery plus
Been a joy
Well done ladies

Just tried to find replay of Emmas match on Discovery+ , not a named match, then found a bit where it had just finished on one of the blue icon AO selections hmm None of the Brits matches seem to be on named icons, managed to find the final set of Cams also on a blue icon thingy with adverts. Not impressed cry hmm disbelief

I've just logged into Discovery + and I have icons to show replays for all the British matches plus plenty of others too. Honestly it works really well for me so I am wondering why it would be so different for you?

I recorded the Australian Open periods showing on Eurosport 1 & 2 and then just had to search through the files to find Emma's match.

Thanks all for replies - I tried again but through Eurosport II on and can see all the options smile

Last years Wimbledon finalists having a hard time with Jabeur only winning 2 games and Vondrousova only winning 3 games against Yastremska.

Jabeur has been injured?
I think last year's Wimbledon final destroyed her mentally.

Even with Jabeur injured, this is such a statement victory for the youngster with a scoreline like that.

Vondrousova was apparently injured

Brits day on 1573 Court tomorrow - Cam, then Katie, then Emma

Was hearing on Radio 5 Live that if Ons had won Wimbledon last year she was planning on at least taking a break to start a family, something that she has made clear she very much wants to do sometime. That does seem hell of an additional pressure at the time and possible effect afterwards.
