Heather gets the jitters. Goes 40-0 up to bp down then gets another mp, not taken, Mlad wins 2 in a row, HW saves another bp, gets another mp (her 5th) and.....loses the point (kinda how me writing this sentence feels right now), another mp for Heather, let's see her 6th of the game.....and it's back to duece, this is fun in a masochistic kind of way, now bp for Mladenovic, but as expected Heather wins that point so back to duece, now Heather has a 7th chance at winning this match, and with the breath leaving me she takes it.
Solid match from Heather, at times seemed completely dominant albeit helped by Mlad's dfs, but then the other girl fought back as the winning post came into sight. Draw opened up now with the defeat of Radwanska as well.
Tsurenko beat Voegele 6-4 7-6. Good news for Heather?
Gicen that Tsurenko has lost to Brits in qualifying for the last two slams (Cav at Wimby then KOB at the USO), you'd think so - though she beat Cav quite easily on her way to the Minsk 25K title in November.
