There's nothing wrong with her.
Comms think she is gong to retire. Well Reed does. I usually take what he says with a pinch of salt.

Angie takes the first.

When Jo asked for the same ball back without winning the point, did she do it as some kind of way of 'defeating' the ball? Just seemed strange as it's something we normally see when a player wins a point so I was wondering if it's something her head coach has brought into her game.

Tomas Berdych has added Goran to his team
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.
Shade!

Still, at least Goran is courtside again, even if it's with Berdyman.

Simon Reed telling who Konta will play in the next 2 rounds and she promptly loses her serve.

Jinxed her.

Commentators curse. "He/ she is serving very well". Cue 2 double faults.

Heather really needs to sort her temper out when she is playing singles.

The French kit is very drab. Not like them to have something so plain.

MP Jo. And she takes it.

Hev on now. No commentary which is a relief.

Couple of double faults halt the Garcia comeback.

Now come on Hev.

Racket throwing, grabbing the towel out of the ball person's hand (not their fault she lost the first set). The same kind of behaviour that got her that massive fine at Wimbledon though not as extreme.

Hev on now. No commentary which is a relief.
I was enjoying it with no commentry and then it started. Ugh.

Now onto Delpo with no commentry.

Hev means business - her hair is up in a bun instead of a ponytail

Joao Souza of Portugal does what Novak couldn't do and has broken Delpo to lead 2-1

Delpo probably on a comedown after his win last night. Just like when he beat Stan at Wimby.
