Julia Carrot · All-time great

Why are they still frantically drying the court I wonder ?

PaulM · Tennis legend

Should have held for 4-0 but hopefully the double break cushiom is enough

Heather, like last year will have to complete a match across two days.
Timing a shame, as Hev had the momentum.

If she wins, she would be scheduled in her SF as the night match again tomorrow.

Lets not get too carried away. She has to finish off this match and then beat Larsson if she makes it to the semi finals

Jan · Hall of fame

Just back home.
So pleased to see that Heather's still in it!
Shame it has to cary over, but better than losing.

Why oh why is Hev scheduled on 3rd?!
The 2 matches preceding her's have no reason to do so. Seems odd but then I'm often baffled by these scheduling decisions

'Cos they've both had a very late night, hanging around ?

indiana · Tennis legend

They''re into their final set so the winner is not going to be really tired out. I tend to think that's better playing in the afternoon before a night match rather than first thing and as Julia said they would have been there late last night. I don't know if and how much they'ed be consulted on their scheduled restart.

thejester · Satellite level

True, hadn't thought of that! I suppose it's never going to be ideal when you're playing twice. Even though they're into a final set they'll still have their normal warm up, warm down etc to go through presumably. Hope Hev can get this match done and won promptly

Mikeduke · County player

One of the matches before Heather was moved due to walkover. However she is still waiting for the prior match to finish as it was suspended at 7-5 5-2.

Having watched 8 odd hours of rain interspersed with brief interludes of people drying courts, and even occasionally playing tennis, happily one can report that Cibulkova has just managed to close out her QF.
So, resumption and completion of Hev's R2 should be up, one presumes, extremely shortly.

That match has finished now, hopefully Heather's up soon.

As previously, that match is HD streamed live on YouTube

They've played 4 points.
Niculescu has decided she's had enough, walked off, sat down claiming the court is unplayable.
So we stop.
