That's another great result for Fran. Just goes to show what she's capable and where she could reach if she could play regularly. Well done!

 Is this likely to happen?

I know it's hard with grass, but currently the forecast says that before 11 is the only dry time tomorrow. You'd think they might try for an earlier start if the dew isn't an issue.

The Met's map has no rain from 1.45pm to 7.30pm except for a very brief shower around 4pm.

 Fran and Emma had completed warm up at approx 6:45pm only for the rain to start again.

Looking at the coverage of this tournament on the WTA you'd think it was Raducanu exhibition or something. There are 6 stories at top of front page. 2 about Nottingham both about Raducanu.

 Yes exactly, what is wrong with Nottingham officialdom that they can't do this?

 

Not only are they ignoring a rare patch of dry weather by not starting earlier but there's also the question of resting time for the 3 women who have to play twice today because they are so far behind schedule.

 May not be popular but IMO it is Emmas global appeal. WTA need her and Naomi to inject a bit of life into the tour. So I think that is why they are capitalising on her success. No disrespect to Katie B, but its just the way things are.

The LTA (on their official tournament site) say no play before 12:30 because of rain. And it is 11:30 for Queens and 12:00 for Birmingham.
