Rowdy crowd in the DelPo match - sounds like a riot going on and play has stopped!
Footage of it from someone I know who's there.

Hev means business - her hair is up in a bun instead of a ponytail
If only I had more confidence in Hev's final sets.

Hev's implosion is almost complete.

Delpo wins the first set, 6-3. Guess it was just a slow start

First set to Delpo.

I thought he would crash after beating Djoko but not so far.

Hev must be gutted to be left out of mixed doubles - happened in London too. I remember she was really upset that nobody told her Laura had been selected, but this must really hurt as a mixed doubles champion. I also think her temperment is better suited to doubles.

Is it definitely confirmed Hev isn't in the mixed? Jo might decide not to play since she won her R2 and they are still in the women's doubles?

Yay it's Delpo time. Sousa playing better than Djoko.

Poor from Hev in the third set, she had a chance early on and sadly didn't take it.

Disappointing from Kyle, but very good from Johanna.

Hope Delpo can win this second set comfortably.

Sousa breaks. Delpo not as aggressive as last night.

Suppose it was to be expected being Portuguese.

Often happens after a player beats a top ranked player. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes on to lose.

That crowd is really rowdy, sounds more like a football match tbh.

Where oh where has Delpo gone...

He's tired. You can tell. He's just hitting wildly.

Ok that second set went a bit south for Delpo, needs to regroup for the third.

Pretty crap he's playing again so soon after his first round match.
