Back to 5*-2

I do think JO may be nursing an injury. She's pretty leaden footed between points, and this tactic of trying to blast winners and not chase anything is usually employed by players who are struggling with an injury. KB was doing this at Notts, less effectively than Jelena here.

 But that's Jelena's general strategy 

I think she was gesturing to her camp that it was the heat

But whatever it took, Sonay looked ultra cool, and focused, and it was a splendid win biggrin

Correction from the post above... the link above gives these computer predictions, not the OOP but the livescores...

We are guaranteed one win and one loss in Emma/Mimi.

If either Harriet or Sonay wins, it's already a good day, according to these odds.

If KatieB isnt hampered by her foot injury, I think she has a better chance than 23% against a senorita on grass.

HannahK's first top 100 win last week in an exhibition match probably hasnt been data-inputted. So her odds may be slightly better.

MikaS is likely to be serving faster and hitting her groundstrokes harder than her opponent (though not necessarily in the right direction). The match may well be on her racquet.

Sonay due to start in 10 minutes from now...

 Sonay won, so its a good day.

 Well, these combined dodgy IBM figures add up to 256%. So we want more!

But by the way, well done Sonay

Hannah is struggling early on. Leylah timing her shots really well. 4-0 down.

 From what Ive seen Leylahs serve isnt as consistent to day but she currently has too much for Hannah. Down 5-0.
