Really hope Hev's Ok, I've seen her doubling over between points in the past and it hasn't been serious, so hopefully it's not now. Still what a performance when not feeling great. Got 24 hours to get herself right.

Two double faults in the first game back gave back the break and heather won quickly from there. Looked fine during the points but didn't look great between them. It was very hot in the sun during her match. Hopefully she will be better for tomorrow.

She can often look rough between points, so tough to tell, one of the reasons during the Fed Cup I wondered whether she was fully over the GF, but looks like today it was worse than usual.

Oh dear Jo what's happened? Shame she didn't close out that game at *10

She desperately needs an early break or at the very least a couple of easy holds. She's in real trouble!
