Me too - I've already christened her Hurricane Hev (well she has just hit the Bahamas!) on twitter for blowing Brianti away and upgraded her to a category 5 after she broke the world no 99 for the fifth time. But now Brianti has finally held serve ... gulp!
Holds to love, nice reply!

Jeez Hev, that was a bit careless, losing a whole game in each set (or were you just being kind?)
Well done girl !!!!
LOL, I know, shocking. Still, she broke 6 times out of 7 and held to love 3 times as well, quite a demolition job. And I don't expect you to believe me, but I saw that kind of scoreline coming - didn't dare say so for fear of jinxing her.
L16: (Q) Heather Watson WR 132 beat Alberta Brianti (ITA) WR 99 by 1 & 1 QF: (Q) Heather Watson WR 132 v (4) Rebecca Marino (CAN) WR 63
Canada have been really up themselves recently with Raonic, Marino, et al, so hopefully Hurricane Hev can do some collateral damage, but I think this one is going to be a lot tougher.
Still, she's already up to about WR 123 based on her exploits so far this week ... can she get another 100 points by the end of the week after Miami and get into Roland Garros as a DA? Surely not ...

Marino might be tough, she's about a year older than Heather and probably about a year ahead in terms of tenis development. But Heather seems like she is in great form and so it'll be a close one
