Good draw for Heather - there were some dangerous players in the 13-24 batch of seeds (Martic, Riske, Ormaechea, McHale, Tatishvili, Garcia, Erakovic) so Arruabarrena being the best player in her section is something she won't mind at all.

Heather trailing 2-3*

Savchuk holds for *2-4

That's horrible. Even if she is making changes to her game to suffer a beat down by a player outside the top 150 is very very poor indeed. Olga hit 2 doubles from 40-0 in that last game too, she must have been super tight.

Having missed so much of the season she desperately needs matches and points, and this weekend was a golden chance for both. Very disappointing.

She said she was ready for a string of poor results while she tries new things, I hope she really meant it. That will have hurt.

Heather loses the first set 3 - 6

She is usually a slow starter so will be stronger in this next set, we hope!

2 - 2 in the second set

Another BP for Savchuk and Heather now down a set and 2-4*
