Pity for Heather, a few Brits in both events mind you.

[Sallydaisy]

Quite a lot of Brits in the doubles too at Eastbourne - play for both singles and doubles starts tomorrow.

[cazza99]

Francesca Jones won today also :clap:

[Sallydaisy]

That's a good win for Dan, over Kecmanovic, but he next faced 2nd seed Tommy Paul.
:peace:

[Sallydaisy]

Eastbourne update:
Mpetshi-Perricard has withdrawn.
His place is taken by LL Billy Harris, GBR, who will now play Cameron Norrie in R1.

[cazza99]

I am surprised they didn't give Billy Harris a Wild Card, but then I guess there weren't many available and higher priorities.

[cazza99]

oop for Tuesday. Brits in every match on courts 1 and 2 - ht tps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/eastbourne/741/daily-schedule?day=4

Billy Harris and Cameron Norrie are also playing doubles together another day. Shame they have to play each other in the first round.

[JAMES4578]

Tricky for a while and the form not quite there at times but Emma pulls away in the end to get pass Ann Li 6-7,6-3, 6-1-well done! pity for Harriet Dart who had two match points at 5-4 in the decider before going down to Krejcikova 6-3,6-7,7-5. The wimbleon champion (whose season only started in May due to injury) will now face Jodie Burrage who beat Moyuka Uchijima 6-3,6-2.

A good fight from qualifier George Lofthagen but lost out to opelka 7-6,3-6,7-6.

[themass15]

Going tomorrow with Linda. Hoping to see Dan and Emma

[Sallydaisy]

Billy Harris d Cam Norrie.
Jake Fearnley has just taken the 1st set against Coboli.

Jodie Burrage had a good win against Oichiama.
Glad Raducanu came through - hope the fall hasn't any lasting effect.

Last ladies singles match features British player Xu against Stearns. All on serve so far, Xu *3-4.

[JAMES4578]

Good win for Billy Harris, not great from Cameron mind you. comfortable for Jake as he eases past Coboli 6-2,6-2.

[cazza99]

It is a shame Cameron and Billy met each other in the first round.

[JAMES4578]

Pity for Dan,think had a bit of a letdown after Paul win though and Brooksby played well. Billy Harris also out in straights to Humbert.

Jack beat Rune 4-6,6-3,10-4 in the exhibition.

Meanwhile despite some speculation otherwise Emma set to play at Wimbledon, was a disappointment yesterday though. Joint now in semi finals.

[JAMES4578]

congrats to Maya joint and Taylor Fritz who took the Eastbourne singles titles, a great week for joint who won a tense and exciting final set over Alexandra Ela 6-4,1-6,7-6(12-10) . Fritz dominated after winning a tight first set over jenson Brooksby 7-5,6-1 to retain his title.

congrats too as cash/Glasspool followed up queen's success with a 6-4,7-6 win over Behar/Vliegan. However this did not seem to be shown anywhere. Joint also in Doubles final with Hsieh but lost out to Bouzkova/Danillina 6-4,7-5.

[cazza99]

Well done to Maya Joint. Emma lost to the winner earlier in the tournament. As the commentator put it Emma was smoked by Maya Joint. lol.
