Heather is first on tonight, so will start at 11pm GMT, half an hour before the test match gets underway also in Sydney. Maybe a few fans will have had enough of watching England losing in the cricket and decide to cheer on Heather instead!

Looks like there will be a few tough qualies matches here for Heather before she even has to worry about a potential clash with AO qualies.

AO qualifying doesn't start until Wednesday (and I think women's qualifying may start a day later), so the likelihood of Heather still being involved in Sydney when the draw is made is very low. If she is still in Sydney, it'll probably mean she's playing so well that it will be a positive anyway!

Tough match but one she needs to win to start climbing back up. I'm more weary of Mattek-Sands than Goerges who can barely win matches these dys

 Normally that Sydney tournament is a week later and doesn't clash with the test match. I did manage to get to first qualis there a few years ago(it was rained off after lunch) after we had been battered in the test

Heather's match starting now.

Took me ages to find the link to a scoreboard with Sydney on it, so to save others the same problem, here it is: www.protennislive.com/lshd/main.swf%3A//www.apiainternational.com.au/

 

The above link is one website not two, not sure what happened there.confuse

 

Great start for Hev, 2-0 already.smile

Frustrating start now, as Hev gets broken having missed 7 break points in the previous game.

Still 3-2* up though

Bad set to lose. Could not have had more chances

Can't remember seeing break point stats like that 1st set before- certainly a set Hev will be frustrated with (and maybe a racquet or two got thrown)
