But got a LL spot and will play Stevenson. Hopefully the reprieve will lead to an improved performance. A bad day was completed when she also lost her doubles 10-4 in the MTB.

That'll be 28-year-old former (1999) Wimbledon semi-finalist and world no. 18 (2002)Alexandra Stevenson, now WR 229, who has gone out of her last three tournaments by retiring from matches.

If Heather gets a commanding lead, Stevenson will just give up and retire.

Semi finalsist, I believe.

Oh and on a completely unrelated note, I just read her father is Julius Erving. Docter J himself. Wow. smile

Suprised she lost that match, good luck in the next one. Alex is hot and cold at the moment so who knows what will happen

Any idea of the order of play?

philwrig · Hall of fame

I'll answer my own question Heather not playing until tomorrow.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

From the day's round up on the tournament site, Heather lost to Stevenson. Again, no mention of the score.

meh, that's how it goes sometimes.
Big junior tourny coming up.
Will be highly beneficial if she can climb above lertcheewakarn.

You'd have to say a minor step backwards.
Probably now best she gains a bit of confidence back in junior matches.
