Hallowe'en is certainly an appropriate time to cross paths with Mlad the Impaler!

Hev has played Mlad (WR 183) 4 times, 1-1 in juniors and 1-1 in seniors including that 3 & 2 AO Q win this year.

Didnt want to start a new topic, just wanted to ask if anyone knows whats happening with Anne Smith and Georgie Gent.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Anna Smith has a pretty nasty knee problem which obviously has put her out for a long time. I spoke to her at Nottingham and the medical advice was that she couldn't get back playing until she had no pain in her knees, just a matter of being patient. It's a wear and tear problem so not caused by a specific incident.

Would really love to see Hev finish her season on a high but Mlad played well at Glasgow so I'm more hopeful than confident of victory.

Looks like Hev's playing today:

Pas avant 12.30 pm
Kristina MLADENOVIC vs Heather WATSON (GBR) [2]

The tournament is updating the results after each match. Coin won in 3 sets and that result was posted about 30 minutes ago, so Heather is probably on court right now.

Big win for Hev after the last couple of weeks, hopefully she can now go deep in the tournament and end the season on a high.

steven · Tennis legend

Phew! I was a bit worried about that one too! Good clear win
