It's the netting and Stella's favourite go to styling, those blinking frills! Thank goodness Jo is normally in Asics clobber.
Do you mean like this? absolutely awful.

But!

She can also come out with this my opinion is only slightly coloured by the fact Garbine is wearing it.

Hit and miss for sure.

They are both awful. Jo plays Garcia in R2.

The skirt part of the dress is too long and the outfit looks odd with blue shoes.

Not great. I like the dusky pink one Caro wore at the FO (I think) and the creamy one she wore a few years ago at the USO when she got to the final.

Yeah I liked those as well,

I hope Mugz plays better today than she has since FO.

Oh lord, I hope it's not going to be one of those matches.

All terrible! Frills, pleats and her worst sin, those mouldy pastel shades. Not even Garbine could save those horrors.

The FO lemon of this year is the one I hate the least.

Can someone tell the people in the next court to keep the noise down. Will it put off the players on court 3 do you think?

There's a Brazilian playing so no chance. Jo serving for the match now.

Why are the Olympics men's singles and men's doubles only the best of 3 sets apart from the final?

Lovely embrace at the end. She said something to Jo.

I like it too. It's very pretty.
I like it as well but as I love Stella's dad to bits I could be a bit biased.

Williams sisters in the doubles on RB 1. They lost the first set.

Yes. But even so this is not up there like each of the 4 big grand slam championships.

I don't get that usual grand slam buzz when there's not 7 rounds, not best of 5 sets throughout, and there are even players in this who you would never normally see in a grand slam event.

Babs and Lucie I guess have been targeting Queenus in this match. Seems the obvious play to me.

Thank god there's a lull in the action to watch both courts!
