I'd love to know how many variations of the GB kit there are. I don't think I've seen the same tennis dress more than once all week. I think Hev might be wearing the best version.
Okay pedantic time but why do people on this thread refer to Watson as Hev? I've never seen her refer to herself that way and it sounds horrible. |

Jo had a different version of the kit on for each round of singles she played.

Bad singles loss for Jo. But I think it's fair to say, she did have the hardest quarter final of them all, having to face the No. 2 seed. I don't really see her getting beyond the quarters finals of the USO. If she makes it that far, then she's gone our round further than last year.

There was a funny exchange on twitter between Gavrilova, Kasatkina and some pundits, because it was getting confusing between the two Dasha's, so Kasatkina approved her new nickname of DashKa. Even her coach calls her DashKa during changeover exchanges now. |

Just natural colloquialisms that happen. Even the pundits and journos shorten it down on social media.

MP Andy/ Hev. And a brilliant return from Andy to win. I am so glad I was wrong about them. But Jamie and Jo are out.

The all GB final is off! Not a good day for Jo really. I'm sure she'll bounce back in Cincy though. Is she playing New Haven as well?

I loved those charity matches, the Rally for Bally was fun too. Honestly, I don't think Andy has a bad relationship with many (any?) Brit player. He was having fun with Laura in London too.Well done Heather and Andy! Happy for Heather esp after her Wimbledon win. |

I feel sorry for Jamie. Maybe he should have played with Hev. She is a more experienced doubles player.

Jamie hasn't played his best in Rio sadly.

Meanwhile, on Court 7, Aga and Kubot are involved in a hard fought battle in the second set, having taken the first set 6-4 against the Romanian pair of Begu / Tecau.

Also when i'm a bit lazy in my speech, Heather sounds like Hever. I have to annunciate to get a proper Heather out.
![]() Good win given they weren't even expecting to play, Mirza and Bopanna awaits. |

If Aga was to win mixed doubles Gold, then she could probably justify taking the long scenic route from Montreal to Rio

Hev is more aggressive and more dynamic in doubles and mixed. Shame she can't do the same in singles.
