and it's one set all for Hev

Heather looking tired, grimacing, bending over double - she's not one for amateur theatricals so I guess it's real.

But she's battling away . . .

I reckon mentally she's exhausted, last week will have taken a lot out of her emotionally and that's trickling down physically too.

She should be in the locker room though, can't be any excuses for not closing this one out.

Very well held, clever serve and volley to seal the game from 15-40 down. She's spent, but she just needs to hang in there.

Suddenly from nowhere Hev hits top gear, and is almost there 5-1

Some quality stuff coming from Hev's racket in those opening two points. Goes for the flashy finish but the volley isn't good enough and she is easily passed on match point, then fires a forehand wide on the second after a pretty safe rally exchange.

Saves a break point, and Vrjlic goes long with her return to bring up match point #3, perfect serve out wide, up to the short ball, balloons it long with the court completely open :(

Second break point of the game - good serve to save it.

Match point 4, just wide with the approach shot (Heather screams and makes a small complaint but Vrljic had passed her anyway)

Break point 3, excellently saved with deft touch at the net which Vrjlic can't get to in time.

Another gorgeous drop shot bounces dead and it's match point 5

Poor shot selection there, runs round the backhand leaving a huge space and Vrjlic hits the winner down the line

Dreadful drive volley brings up break point 4. Double fault

5-2*

Ouch.

Phew! Vrljic is off balance and misses a mid-court ball.
