What a shame :sad: really hoped Jo could dig that out. But credit to Hseih, she was a little less predictable than Jo, and worked her way into it after being overpowered in the first. Better luck on the grass, Jo.
Such a shame. After a very promising start, I never saw Johanna losing. However, Hseih got better and better and played really well in the end....she has some amazing shots. Is Jo playing doubles at RG?
It's difficult to know exactly what happened here. She won the first set so easily. Poor Jo!! Very disappointing for her.

very disappointing. I thought she had a chance for the whole tournament and was proudly telling someone I was teaching as she was losing....

Bit gutted for Jo after she got off to such a good start :sad:
Jo just doesn't seem to be comfortable on clay.

Certainly clay still a challenge for Jo, though disappointing after the strong start.
To be fair to her opponent, she played really well after a shaky start.
I managed to catch some of this match on the radio while I was away. Really disappointed for Jo - she seemed to have started so well.

Glad Jo got it done in straight sets, she's back on later in the doubles
I read she won 6 - 3, 7 - 5.

Another good win for Johanna, well done!
Did they show Jo's match on Eurosport today? I couldn't find it but they're now showing the Vekic/Sakkari match.
goldfish
16-06-2017, 13:01
Yes, on Eurosport 2
I don't know how I missed it then but thanks, goldfish.
Johanna's match not showing on Eurosport TV guide at 1pm today. Only highlights later in day. This can't be right can it?
They are showing live coverage later in the afternoon.
She's first on, on Centre Court today.
Johanna's match is scheduled to be on Bet365. I paid a deposit of £5 five years ago, and have been able to watch all sorts of sport ever since! (unless it was on tv)
Thanks Jane, can't believe Eurosport are not showing the match until 6pm unless its on Eurosport Player.. Thanks again Jane!
That's OK Lynne - I've just checked on Eurosport player and WTA Nottingham is scheduled
Aw heck I don't have Eurospirt Player as I begrudge paying for it when at the end of the day I am paying for Eurosport ss part of my Sky package & I know I will not use it often, so I will avoid all results till later.... Thanks again Jane, much appreciated!, sorry it's long winded lol! 😁
BBC radio Nottingham doing live commentary on the match. No use to me, as I live in Exeter.

A pity but hopefully goes well in singles final!
Not before 3pm for Jo's match against Vekic today.
The men's singles match is still going.
Sela wins, now time for Jo.
Vekic saves four break points to make it 2 - 3.
Jo saves two break points to make it 4 - 2.
"Come on" shouts Jo as she breaks to make it 5 - 2.
Jo wins the first set 6 - 2.
Embarrassing!! Someone in the crowd listening to Jo's match on the radio.
Jo breaks back to make it 2 - 3.
Nice to listen to what Wim Fissette had to say to Jo, at the change of ends.
Jo saves a set point to make it 5 - 5.
Come On Jo!!...get the TB!!.....YES!!
Jo saves two set points, now tie break time.
Vekic wins the second set 7 - 6 (7 - 3).
Vekic is improving and Jo hasn't been and still isn't playing her best tennis.
JAMES4578
18-06-2017, 16:16
Pity Jo couldn't clinch it now but Vekic certainly more of a challenge now, come on!
themass15
18-06-2017, 16:18
Jo making heavy weather of this
Vekic breaks in the first game.
Much better from Jo, as she breaks back to make it 3 - 3.
JAMES4578
18-06-2017, 16:44
Three games in a row for Jo, hopefully turning the tide!
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
The wrong person wins the match.
Shame, but obviously the pressure got to her. Understandably. Onwards to the next one.
:crying:
More chances on the grass for Johanna coming up.

18-06-2017, 17:07
Wonder if she would be better missing Birmingham and going to practise in Eastbourne.
Not a classic but a very close match. Some great play from both - some nervy play from both - it really could have gone either way. Bad luck, Jo - onwards and upwards!
JAMES4578
18-06-2017, 17:38
A pity, particularly as Johanna found way back into 3rd and feel she should've found a way, however credit to Vekic. Hopefully Jo builds on it in the grass court season.
Have been busy this weekend (clearing the diary so that I will be free for all the up-coming tennis!). Was surprised when I got back to find Johanna had lost her final. Really thought she had a good chance today. But not to be. She did do very well and there is all to play for in the next few weeks.
She's second on Centre Court, today, against Lesia Tsurenko.

She certainly played better in the first set, Vekic was nervous at first I could tell that. she improved (Donna) as the match went on, and in the second set I felt that Vekic was going to end up winning .
Sarah and I were in Nottingham ;) you may have seen us on TV ;)
Johanna leads Tsurenko 3- 0 and is serving
Johanna wins the first set 6 - 3 :yahoo:

Johanna wins 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) -well done!:cheer: Got into bit of trouble in the 2nd but thankfully was able to turn it round.
Very well done Johanna :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
:phew:
Well done Johanna!
:GBflag:
Keep it going Johanna. :clap::clap:We need you to bolster up our moral! There will be a programme about Johanna on Radio 5 Sports Xtra @ 9pm this evening.
Correction! Incase anyone wants to listen to the podcast, the programme was on Radio 5 Live, not 5 Sports Xtra! Sorry!! My mistake. It was quite interesting and worth a listen.
She's last on Centre Court, today, against Vandeweghe.
Players warming up. Good luck, Johanna. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Eek Jo's 1-5 down.
Come on Jo!
Oh dear - Jo now a set and a break down.

Disappointing performance from Jo as Coco takes it 6-1,6-3, though the American did serve very well.
Yes Johanna couldn't quite find her A game today, due in part to the good play of Coco. How's this for a prize question in Coco's on-court interview: "How vital was that break in the second set?" :facepalm: Reply from Coco: "Well if I'm going to win I have to break"!!! ;)
Yes , disappointing. Jo's surface is definitely hard courts.
She's not bad on grass, I always think of clay as her worst surface. I think she's just a little tired from last week. Ah well it'll be a blessing in disguise if she's recharged for Eastbourne.
She's got a first round bye at Eastbourne and then plays either a qualifier or Katerina Siniakova.
Let's hope Jo gets a few matches under her belt to boost her confidence for Wimbledon. I can understand why she was annoyed with the interviewer after her last match but she'll have to learn not to rise to the bait.

She'll have to ask Andy for some tips ;)
Johanna takes the first set vs Ostapenko 7-5 :clap:

Really enjoying this match! Also team Smith...Sam and Leon....are the dream commie team. Wish they were all like those two! Go Johanna! You're going to do this!
JAMES4578

First to Johanna 6-3, a few breaks in the 2nd but Konta saves 2bps to lead 4-3 -come on! Bad fall when Konta appeared to bump head but Jo takes it on 4th mp! A fabulous win (6-3,6-4) , great stuff!:cheer::cheer::cheer: Maybe not kerber's best but was definitely outplayed. Hope she is ok for tomorrow though.

29-06-2017, 18:48
Wow! Great win for Jo over Kerber (despite a pretty heavy fall). Well done Jo, obviously the Eastbourne girl loves playing at home :thumbup::bravo:
Another win for Johanna - very well done :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Go Jo well done :GBflag:
Oh my word - heart in mouth stuff when she fell.
Well done Jo!!
:GBflag:
So happy for both Johanna and Heather. It really was heart in mouth stuff as you said Jan when Jo fell and certainly gave us all (and her) a real scare when it happened. But delighted she got through it and a great day in prospect tomorrow...1 Brit in each SF, and who knows beyond that....we can certainly hope! :clap::clap:
Well done Johanna. :swingin:
Hope she's OK.
I put the Red Button on, yesterday evening, and found Jo had only just started her match. I hope she has recovered from her fall.
She plays Hsieh Su-Wei in the first round at Wimbledon.

Johanna has unfortunately pulled out of Eastbourne semi ,hopefully will be ok for next week.

Reasonable 1st round if fit ,though player she lost to at French- also potentially 4th round clash with Kvitova.
Just heard about Jo. Hope she recovers for next week.
Really not surprised she's not playing, but hope it's not too serious.
Get well soon Jo :flowers:
Jo breaks Hsieh's serve, 2 - 1.

Fairly tight thus far, come on Johanna!
Jo saves one of the three break points.

Yes, fighting tiebreak by Jo
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 13:19
Bit tense at times but Jo won most of the the important points to take the first, keep it going!
In a way glad this was a closer first set than Nottingham so Jo knows she has to remain focused.
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 13:31
Bit of a let up at start of 2nd Vekic up 2-0, half chance last game though.
Three break points for Jo.
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 13:46
Initiative handed back somewhat, both players not quite with the same consistency right now with another 2 bps- however Vekic manages to hold for 4-2. Johanna needs to step up now.
RosieBear
05-07-2017, 13:49
Really enjoyable battle between Johanna and Vekic. Both have played really well for the most part. Must admit I haven't seen a lot of Vekic before today, but thought it lovely that she applauded a brilliant point by Jo when she was under big pressure towards end of first set.
C'mon Jo :cheer:
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 13:56
Has been interesting battle, Vekic certainly not done as she moves ahead 5-3 though Jo still with a shot to stay in the 2nd as she holds for 4-5. Game became tight from 40-0 though.
Vekic wins the second set 6 - 4.
RosieBear
05-07-2017, 14:01
Come on Jo :swingin:
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 14:01
Half chance at 15-30 but Vekic takes 2nd to force a decider, come on Jo!
Hmmm........one set all. Come on Johanna!:thumbup:
david1610
05-07-2017, 14:17
Keep holding and serving first will start to be increasing advantageous! C'mon Jo!
JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 14:30
Battle heating up, bit of a howler from Jo in last game after she had perfectly set up point but easy hold for 4-3-come on!
