Congrats to Claire Ricketts, superb effort to qualify. Natasha Khan's results have been impressive, didn't expect her to beat Sarah Coles - looks like a mammoth 2nd set breaker in that one.

Apparently the on-court temperatures reached 100 degrees F on Saturday which must have been gruelling for the players.

I've found an explanation for Danielle Brown's surprise whitewash, her Dutch opponent was a former top 10 player !

All we proved is that British girls and boys can beat each other on grass but no one else.

The world have caught up with us, and we have no grass court advantage any more.

This is proving to be a rather bad day....hope the guys in the futures abroad have had better days....
