Thinking of going to roehampton tomorrow. Is it open for spectators/ easy to go to/get in?

Yes and yes (based on the times I've been)
It's at the actual NTC entrance (not the Wimble qualis Bank of England place) - which is usually open - if ever it's not and the gate's shut, just press the intercom and say you're there for the ITF event
Sometimes they make you sign in at reception - other times no one seems to bother
Lovely place to hang out. Really pretty. Tons to see. Food and restaurant is good

Extremely jealous - I was going to go tomorrow but have been laid low with a summer cold so not up to the long day.
As CD says, easy to get in to, good viewing for each of the pairs of courts, good food and you never know who you might bump into - last year Katie B, Harriet and Heather were all training there on the day I went.

Should be a good day and hopefully the weather is ok too. Sorry to hear you can't make it and hope you get better soon addict.
Early results Millie B lost to Marcinkevica 0-6 (5)6-7 Ella beat Naiktha 6-3 7-6(4) Ten breaks of serve in the match, but Ella is marching on towards the top 500. One more win this week should be enough.

R1:- Sarah Beth Grey (GBR) WR386 lost to Gabriella Da Silva Fick (AUS) [Q] WR436 5-7 6-3 5-7
R1:- Sonay Kartal (GBR) WR189 [1] v Hikaru Sato (JPN) WR428 [Q] 6-3 2-0 and play appears to have stopped. The players have left the court, but it isn't for weather so I'm presuming a retirement. I wasn't watching but checked the stream to see why the scoreboard had frozen.
Must have been a quick end to the match Sonay won 6-3 6-0

That looks like three challenging matches that our girls could win if they are on form. Sonay played Ana two years ago in Shrewsbury and lost 7-5 in the third.
