Massive for Hev, hopefully a sign of improved form FQR will be tough again.

Heather next plays Petra Cetkovska or Marina Erakovic. She played Petra in 2011 when Heather was ranked 104 and Petra 40 and lost heavily, she played her again in 2012 when Heather was ranked 115 and Petra 28 and again lost heavily. However Heather is now ranked 79 and Petra 149.
Heather has never played 24th seed Marina ranked 77.

Shame about Robson but I think Heather has enough about her to get to the MD.

Really hoping that this is a sign of Heather finally being back to full health. Glandular fever can drag on for so long that you never really know when it is completely gone, The fact that this was classic Heather fightback to win in the 3rd and finish so strongly, suggests she is now 100% back on track.

Great stuff Heather.

Will be an interesting match as they know each others games well. Marina hasn't shown her grass court form on the hard courts yet but is a very impressive player when she gets it right.

daisy · County player

I hope Heather continues to do well and build confidence and match practice.
Really pleased for her to get the win today.

WD40 · Club Coach

Heather's match tomorrow is on 4th after 10:00am local time start.

Never easy playing besties, we shall see, Marina is the favourite, but if Hev wins it will certainly for me confirm she is back on course. Since the GF Hev hasn't been able to back up a good performance, fingers crossed that changes tomorrow.

As well as winning two WTA doubles titles together (without ever meeting in singles), Hev and Marina share a singles career high - 39.
