time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. but cloud and rain across the west of scotland but it was meyer. sometimes just getting up to m celsius, in sharp contrast to the three celsius that we had in north yorkshire. coupled with that, we still have a lot of snow on the ground across the north york moors, and when the wind blows across that it delivers the temperatures, that is why it has been a bruising across parts of north yorkshire. we have a band of rain and beat with a front pushing south, taking the reins from scotland and northern ireland into northern england and north wales overnight. there might be the odd nip of frost across the north—east, but otherwise increasingly mild across the north of the uk. the next

few days dominated by this flow of relatively mild south to south—westerly winds. weather—wise, tomorrow, some mist and fog patches tomorrow, some mist and fog patches to start off with in northern ireland, west of scotland and north—west england, perhaps some drizzle for wales and northern england first thing, otherwise a lot of cloud around but a few breaks coming and going across southern and eastern areas. it will be turning less cold across central and eastern england with temperatures picking up to around nine celsius in london, ten in hull. a greater chance of some folk and poor visibility on wednesday, some of that may linger all day, and at the same time we will see a band of rain and a week with a front coming into the north—west of scotland. for most of us on the mild side with temperatures between 8—11, this relatively quiet spell of weather set to last much of this week. a week with a front comes in on sunday bringing the threat of some rain and you will have to wait until the back end of next week before we see the

practice last week in melbourne. 50 practice last week in melbourne. so he's a long way off the pace and ultimately even though he looked very rusty he did show a lot of character to come through in five sets. it's very unlikely he will be able to repeat the heroics of the us open at this particular grand slam, it's been a slow start to the season but he's through and he now faces an australian who has some injury problems of his own in the second round. �* , problems of his own in the second round. 3 . ~ problems of his own in the second round. �*, ., ~ ., ., �*, round. let's talk about the women's draw. harriet _ round. let's talk about the women's draw, harriet dart _ round. let's talk about the women's draw, harriet dart taking _ round. let's talk about the women's draw, harriet dart taking advantage| draw, harriet dart taking advantage of her lucky loser status but first jody burridge, a couple months ago she was potentially talking about retiring from the sport and there was an emotional win for her earlier. ,, ., ., earlier. she required a fourth operation _ earlier. she required a fourth operation of _ earlier. she required a fourth operation of her _ earlier. she required a fourth operation of her career - earlier. she required a fourth operation of her career on i earlier. she required a fourth operation of her career on a l earlier. she required a fourth - operation of her career on a wrist injury in february last year, she made a quick return to the tour and was expecting to play at the french open, she was practising at an indoor clay court, katie bulger hit a drop shot and it camejody to try

and chase around and turned her angle very badly and was out for several months. and it was really when she was returning to the tour and having to play on the ietf circuit when the facilities are not that great, motivation can sometimes be lacking that she just felt that she had the heart and the fight to get through this as well. i seem to do thejob get through this as well. i seem to do the job because she finished last year strongly by winning a tournament in dubai and into the second round after a victory. as for harriet dart, lovely stories if somebody has lost in qualifying gets a second bite of the cherry. she got a couple hours of notice she was going to play today and it was quite a match against horatio. cramping quite seriously in the closing stages but still managed to come through in three hours iii minutes in a third set tie—break. through in three hours 14 minutes in a third set tie-break.—
