Fashion, fringes and frustrations: the social round-up

So the English weather continues to live up to it’s dreary reputation. Rain delayed the start of Wimbledon qualifying, as well as tournaments in Eastbourne and Nottingham…

Monica Puig was one of only a few players to complete a match – but it wasn’t without challenges:

Petra Kvitova and Carla Suarez Navarro had their matches cancelled, so decided to work out instead:

Andrea Petkovic found an alternative way to deal with the rain delay:
