Been some super women's QF ties. The men's draw had some headline ties but in truth they have been rather damp squibs. Well done to whoever produced these women's match-ups

**** In flight rule change - the tiebreaks dont actually break the ties; anyone who hasnt voted come the end of the match clearly isnt coming on and swooping at the end. So the extra hour tie break is cancelled from this point and the semis and final will go straight to count back. The TB hasnt influenced things so far, the two matches going to a TB ended up with no more votes and into countback. SO countback will be the de facto new method after the normal 24 hours of the vote.
Match in progress (Williams v Andreescu) will also go straight to countback at 5pm, end of normal vote timescale. I could say Tsitsipas v Goffin as well but as that is 16-1 currently, probably not worth mentioning in that context!! *****
Ready to do the draw, I have selected 4 numbers for each group of players. If someone on the board wants to give me two pairs of numbers using 1-4 for the womens and someone else for the mens, I can make the draw.

On behalf of Bianca's Red and White Army I wish to protest at this mid-match rule change. As always the authorities are favouring Williams in her never-ending quest for the 24th Slam title!

I am afraid you were Trump-ed , if you get my drift. A quiet word was had...
