close-run thing. Some good rallies - enjoyable to watch, just a shame Hev lost.

Yes, that was a pretty good quality match by the end. The crowd seem to like Heather a lot as well (she got a much bigger cheer than Wickmayer at the finish)

Hope she can herself up for her dubs later.

Ah well...can't win 'em all I guess and no disgrace in losing that way.

Anne and Cirstea lost the first set of their doubles 6-2

Another great performance by Heather, Wickmayer was poor in the first set, but really stepped it up in the second and third. Hev responded and played her best tennis in the third and was really close to turning the match back in her favour at the end. Starting to hit more winners which is going to be vital as she moves into the top 50, and of course she needs to continue to serve well. Wicky is 20 on the race so back playing better tennis this year, so a very good yardstick.

All in all going the right way. Always impressed at how mentally tough Hev is, and how she consistently plays well.

I'd bl***y well hope so, Wickmayer is a massive grenade.

Hev's 3-1 up in her dubs.

great news for the Olympics. Laura and Hev could go really far (given a decent draw).

KK · Club Coach

Yes - much further than in the singles at this stage of their careers. Getting the doubles slot rather than the singles could be a blessing in disguise.
