Is Heather the 4 or the 3?

Hev just broken, Cornet now serving for the match at 5-4

Not that much of interest to say about that match, one break in each set enough for Cornet as Hev made no impact on her serve.

Hev hit loads of aces yesterday and 3 early today but then none in the rest of the match which was a bit strange.

On a side note a certain Argentinian has been steadily climbing the WTA ranking since the Fed Cup in April, in fact she will now probably be ranked ahead of Heather on Monday, but also she has been proving that she is not just a "clay courter" as she has reached the QF's here.

oh well.

DF · Tennis legend

Hev and Anna's match has started.

TomTraubert · Futures level

no breaks till hev served at 4-5
weird umpire decision on set point over ruled and not let despite anna being two paces away, said she wouldn't reach the ball!!!!
handed the set to genie/taylor - but hev shouldntve been at 15-40 in the firstplace

Taylor best player in that set by a distance

4-6

Hev's scoreline about par but very strange that she didn't have 1 break point.
I think if she can somehow stay in the top 75 that will be a brilliant result for this year.
2014 will be a big year for Hev, hopefully back within the top 50 by the end of it.

TomTraubert · Futures level

hevs team break to love
3-2 and anna to serve

TomTraubert · Futures level

broken back because of poor serving from anna 3-3

TomTraubert · Futures level

nope they lose 4 & 4
Hev hardly in the match. it was the anna and taylor show though Genie served real well.

Heather's first tournament of the US summer similar to Laura's, about average. She got a win on the board which is important and was competitive-ish in singles today (about the expected scoreline against Cornet). Would expect to see some week on week improvements in Heather's game as she she gets used to playing regularly on the tour again.

I didn't see the doubles today but not surprised to read that Townsend plays well - she has the game to be a top doubles player in future.
