The Wimbledon website OOP gives an IBM computer prediction of the likelihood of either player in each match winning...For our lasses today, as follows...

Emma74%
Mimi26%

Sonay 42%
KatieB 23%
HannahK 22%
Harriet 47%
MikaS 22%

I have always subscribed to the non-scientific view that Brits at Wimbledon win or lose in clumps. And therefore if Sonay (and in particular Harriet) lose my prediction is then we are going to only get the winner of Emmal/Mimi through.

If one or both of those two win, then I reckon it will be 4 or 5.

I still think it will be more on the fitness of Sonay and Katie's Opponents! If there fully recovered from recent woes I can't see either winning... with Harriet she's capable if she turns up in a good frame of mind. Hannah and Mika would be crazy wins!

Correction from the post above... the link above gives these computer predictions, not the OOP but the livescores...

We are guaranteed one win and one loss in Emma/Mimi.

If either Harriet or Sonay wins, it's already a good day, according to these odds.

If KatieB isnt hampered by her foot injury, I think she has a better chance than 23% against a senorita on grass.

HannahK's first top 100 win last week in an exhibition match probably hasnt been data-inputted. So her odds may be slightly better.

MikaS is likely to be serving faster and hitting her groundstrokes harder than her opponent (though not necessarily in the right direction). The match may well be on her racquet.

Sonay due to start in 10 minutes from now...

After going 3-0 down. Sonay seems to have settled and has just broken back.  Serving at 4-5.

I wish that Wimbledon would get rid of their awful AI tool which IBM seem to have inflicted on them to provide key facts and stats. As when introduced last year, they're invariably wrong.

Just flashed up, "Sonay Kartal is one of 7 British wildcard recipients in the women's draw."

I despair. The BBC have just put up a "Wimbledon fact" on the screen - that Sonay received a wild card into the Championships no

Edit - snap!

Sonay 7-5

The match may yet depend on whether Ostapenko finds her serve... 36% first serves in.
