along with poland's iga swiatek who had a comfortable straight sets win against russian daria kasatkina. everton are playing their first match since the sacking of manager rafael benitez last sunday. they're up against aston villa in the premier league's early kick—off at goodison park. duncan ferguson has taken over as caretaker manager. there's about five minues to go until half—time and it remains goalless. there are four more matches today. fourth placed west ham are at manchester united, who are two points below them in seventh. there's not many managers who go to old trafford and find that their team's above them in the premier league over many years, so, you think when sir alex was the manager and how hard it was for anybody to get in front of manchester united. so i'm pleased we're back in front, but what really matters is us getting three points and what matters is that we're ahead of them, certainly come the end of the season.
