Yeah the decision to split the entries basically made no difference. The 8 in site entries were pretty much the players who were first out of the advance entries.

That's good to know. How did the men compare Paul?

Var · Futures qualifying

Not Brits but watching Venus and Leylah in their doubles. I had forgotten how tall Venus actually is and how petite Leylah is. Anyway seems to be working, close first set (7-6) and 3-0 up in the second. Plenty of spectators for a doubles match.

And Leylah successfully holds serve to take the second 6-3. Venus dancing around the court and Leilas beaming!

So happy for Venus, I've always liked the way she's carried herself and been so generous.
