Peng won 7-6 6-1

Excellent first set by Hev, but the second set can be summed up in a word: error-strewn

Heather is now back on court joining Joss in their match against the 2nd seeds.

Hev is back on court, with Joss. Doubles to start in 5 mins

Good effort from Heather. Though seems she may have become disheartened at not winning the first set. Or perhaps peng just raised her game.

Joss having a bit of trouble with her serve at the moment...1-2*

Is it still breezy up in Brum? She's a tall lass so her ball toss might be affected.

Hope Jos/Hev can break back asap.

It's not too bad actually, there seems to be a battle with the rainclouds though!

Joss/Hev get 1 break back, 3*-5

Heather not normally one to seem to get disheartened, she's got a not undeserved reputation as a fighter. Though I see for whatever reasons she became a bit "error strewn" in the second set.

Decent efforts in the most part here by particularly Naomi and Heather. Just such a pity Naomi couldn't have seen it home yesterday, giving herself another 15 points ( on top of 25 ) and then guaranteeing the winner of a Broady vs Watson match a QF spot and at least a further 40 points.

A bit of both really, I can't remember Peng making that many errors in the 2nd set

jmjhb · Lower Club Player

Hev and Joss have got a bit of impetus now and have got two successive breaks. 3*-1

Might lose it now, 15-40

Ratty · County player

"Hev" indeed .... so chavvy.

"Heather" is what I consider to be the correct way of referring to the daughter of the erstwhile chief executive of Guernsey Electricity.

5-4* to Hev/Joss

They're playing a sudden death point at deuce. Joss and Hev have just won their first.

Very close match indeed.
