I didn't like how passive she became towards the end. I would have liked her to be more aggressive. Not Laura style but greater depth and hit the ball a bit harder.
Cracking stuff from Heather. Bit nervy in second set but still got the job done. Well deserved her third round place for all the hard work and determination she is putting into her game. It's so good to see her in action and her fighting spirit. She'll have a good career for sure.
R2: WATSON, Heather (GBR) 103 beat HAMPTON, Jamie Lee (USA) 100 6-1 6-4 R2: KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) 77 v ERRANI, Sara (ITA) 10 10 R2: BALTACHA, Elena (GBR) 101 v KVITOVA, Petra (CZE) 4 4
Some more total bull**** from the "expert" commentary team last night. Apparently Laura Robson doesn't bend her knees enough on her serve. I' m watching Roddick now - and guess what, his knee-bend is about the same as Laura's! Where do they find these dorks?

Another performance from Hev which we are getting accustomed to seeing. No nerves and great serving with some great retrieving. Radwanska next will probably be too tough, but will provide another guide a bit like Vinci and Safarova as to where Heather's game has progressed to.
If she can beat Radwanska and I believe she can, shes in a pretty good section of draw to reach semis, but I wont look ahead too much but hoping for the best!!
