Daniels takes longer between serves than Rafa does!

And what's with the weird back of court angles during rallys grr.

Look at me finally get to watch some live tennis and I'm grumbling. Wimbledon spoilt me.

Very poor camera angle isn't it? - far to low.

I feel like I need to stand tip toe on my settee, just to get a better view!

Awful 1st set from Kyle Edmond. He did well to go 3-0 up, but from that point onwards he made error after error and loses the 1st set 6-4.

Weird play. He's allowing Daniel to dictate too much.

Is that actually physically possible? Wouldn't that require some sort of shift in the time space continuum?

Petra through. She has an opportunity here to finally make something of her season.

And if not, then she'll always have New Haven

He's consistent but Kyle has just handed him the match with his inconsistency and UE's. Pretty piss poor from Kyle.

Edmond loses in straight sets 6-4, 7-5. Very disappointing when you think he led 3-0 in the 1st set and 4-2 in the 2nd.

Does anyone know if he is playing in the mixed?

I don't think so unless he replaces Andy.

He calmed down later in the match but in the first couple of games it went something like.

- Adjust shoulders of shirt.
- Touch face.
- Adjust hair.
- Bounce ball.
- Change mind and adjust shirt shoulders again.
- Bounce ball.
- Touch hair.
- Finally serve.

Hopefully Jo will do better now but it's a very tough match up.

You get the feeling he'd go after any supercoach who was free.

Konta playing again? She was playing when I went to sleep last night. She's wearing a different outfit. That dress Lisa dislikes so much must be in the wash.

She's using it as a net curtain to cover her windows.

She has called for the trainer to put Jo off her rhythm.

Kerber has taken the first set against Bouchard.

On the plus side for Bouchard she really can wear anything and make it look immense.
