While it would have been great if Heather had won, I really do not see that anyone should be too disappointed.

Having not seen the match, it is difficult to really comment.  But it looks a reasonable display especially considering Pirinkova's wins last week. Even if Pirinkova is generally ranked true to her ability, that ranking is 117 !   I really do think you are looking for too much too soon, here, philwrig. She is developing well.  Indeed, I recall you yourself indicating that we might look for more later rather than earlier this season, once her studies are truelly behind her, though to be fair I am not sure how much time they any longer take.

As for Anne, I and others said our piece as to that defeat just on face value not being so worrying as you seemed to think in your short comment during it.  I agree though the news I later heard about her grandmother rather confuses any signs, so let's just see how Anne progresses in the coming months.

I was only marginally disappointed by Heather's performance and I'm pretty confident that this time next year she'll be very close to beating her. I tend to  forget that even though Heather is nearly 18 she is a relative novice at the senior level having only played a handful of events since her debut last year. Maybe my expectations were raised slightly by some of her recent wins but she is on a steep learning curve so she will get there sooner rather than later.

Once Bally had saved those 5 break points in the sixth game of the first set it appeared to be relatively plain sailing. Benesova didn't put much of a fight up after that apart from a brief rally at the start of the second set.

Probably Bally's easiest win for quite a while. Wickmayer next who isn't playing as well as at the start of the year so should at least be competitive.

Post match reactions:

Per Heathers twitter.

Lost today. A little dissapointed with how I played but I definitely learned a lot and ready to get back to work..

So a positive and honest reaction to how she actually felt she played. Bodes well for the future.

Per Bally's twitter.

Another great day!played very well!!completely took my game to her!!Wickmayer up next..x

Per Nino's twitter.

Without a doubt some of the best tennis I have seen Bally play. Very calm, clinical and high quality delivery, Excellent Bally.Coach Nino.

Per Annie K's twitter.

Sometimes, tennis just isn't that important.
