A little jig if delight at the end - and the smile just got even bigger!
She has never won singles and doubles at the same event before in a WTA-ranked or ITF junior event! She should be back up to around 120 in both singles and doubles now.

GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!
Heather's 515 points after Midland to be defended are :
70 from 1 tournament next week ( so effectively got in her defence early x 2 with 140 points this week )
15 from 4 Mandatories before Easrbourne in June, she already has non counting non mandatories that mean over these 4 months her points would go up even if she didn't hit a ball )
225 from 8 tournaments from Eastbourne until the year end, including 3 mandatories ( hopefully she will play in all these again this year, but more successfully than last year )
As previously mentioned, Heather has already played and won a lot of matches this year.
Her overall record is played 19, won 16, lost 3.
vs ranks 1 - 50 : W 2 ( WRs 26 & 38 ) L 3 ( WRs 23, 33 and 48 )
vs ranks 51 - 100 : W 3 ( WRs 80, 84 & 98 ) L 0
vs ranks > 100 : W 11 L 0
I would suggest that Heather is rather underanked on results this year !
And she's on an upward path..
She has currently won 9 consecutive matches, from Fed Cup and Midland.
She has currently won 16 consecutive sets, conceding no more than 4 games in any of these sets, starting in the Fed Cup when completing a 3 set win against the WR 26 and including beating the WR 38, then her title run this week.
Thanks a lot for the stats Indy...So difficult with Hev to place where she is at in terms of personal best, but I would suggest she is top 75 at least. Winning 100k events without dropping a set is encouraging. Her energy seems back, and she has the same hunger she used to have.
I predict top 100 by FO, top 75 by Wimbledon/US Hard Court and top 50 by year end, IMO.
