Maza,

Hope you have an absolutely brilliant time.

To finish off the scoring Fitzy lost 6-3 6-3, but a respectable effort by Anna by the looks of the score.

Great wins for Naomi ( nearly beat Larsson last year ) and Tara.

Short interviews from Laura/Hev up on the LTA site where Laura concedes that JoKo was playing well.

It might be advisable to take an inflateable with you, failing that a wetsuit. There seems to quite a bit of flooding down that way. Perhaps that is what Philwrig meant by "an in depth report".

^^Really? Aww no.
Hopefully the roads aren't closed, otherwise it will be mayhem.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have joined the 21st century and have created a Twitter account:

http://twitter.com/#!/Maza1987Ali

I did not want to be a burden on anyone else so this is probably the most efficient way. I think I have correctly linked my mobile, so it should be all good for tomorrow. But I'll jot down the numbers pm'ed to me just in case.

And my real name is Ali, so feel free to call me that from now on. smile

Can someone post as soon as they post the order of play. Getting tired waiting for it.

philwrig · Hall of fame

WOW , sky sports news are showing Hev/Laura's match live at 11.a.m :))))

steven · Tennis legend

They also say day tickets are £4 and suggest "The crowds were the largest for Day 1 we have seen so far, so book early to avoid disappointment....01271 377701 or at the Tarka reception"

Pretty amazing and impressive that Sky are showing this match. I'll be at work but probably trying to sneak a view of as much of it as I can.

Finally up, Ali, in case no one beats me to it: here.

Maza1987 · Challenger level

Wow, amazing news about sky sports. That's probably better for all then.

The day is well spread out for me. Tara plays after heather v laura, then naomi then dubs with heather and laura.
