Blue skies suddenly come back here too
Crossing my fingers for you, Jan !!!!

Thanks! Dry currently....
How absolutely brilliant that you are there Jan. Another downpour has just occurred I see but Emma 3-0 to the good. A pity she had to stop.

It's probably going to be one of those days, but a good start from Emma.

Jajon · Club Coach

Well if Emma wants to play every set like that this summer - will be a good one! However, I will take her just avoiding a second set slump

DF · Tennis legend

Emma takes the first set 6-0 smile

GO ANDY RICHARDSON !!!!!!!!!!

Queens on BBC now, showing Emma 's match. Commentators Naomi broady, Annabelle also.

Marta Kostyuk has pulled out injured so Mika faces Donna Vekic instead late this afternoon if the weather permits

sammmm · Lower Club Player

Mika has been moved to 3rd on Court 1 while Tatjana Maria has been moved to Mika's slot on Andy Murray Arena, guessing this is a small apology from LTA to Maria for the WC after the change in opponent for Mika

Emma looked like she was going to win in a blink of an eye, but Anna is fighting back.

Nice match from Emma! Blinkova upped her game in the second set and Emma threw in some DFs, but some good ball striking and finished off well.
