Heather gets the Q v Q match

L56: (Q) Heather Watson WR 57 v (Q) Tereza Smitkova (CZE) WR 93 (= CH)

Smitkova is the player who lost to Freya Christie in Nottingham then qualified and reached R4 at Wimbledon!

Edit: rankings updated

The best draw she could ask for, I suppose! Obviously the rub with Masters is that you're very likely to face a seed by the second round, so with a fellow Q in the 1st, the (however remote) possibility of not facing a seed in the 2nd is kind enough. Plus, not the toughest (but still very tough) of seeds. :)

Edit: And Hev is playing tomorrow n.b 7(?) BST.

The winner is likely to play Cibulkova next seeded 10 WR 12, Heather lost to 3,4 in Australia earlier this year.

I'd put Smitkova in the dangerous/ not to be taken lightly category. Form looks a little streaky, but when on, is definitely capable of beating Hev. Actually reached R4 at Wimby and beat Jovanovski and Coco Van along the way. Young, improving and only lost 9 games in qualification to two strong players in Vesnina and Min.

Didn't she reach Wimbledon r4 a few weeks after losing to Katy Dunne? Very streaky then!

Agree with the above sentiments - as good a draw as heather could possibly have got, but still doesn't mean it will be easy!

Only match i have seen her play was when Safarova demolished her at Wimbledon so hard to judge her game, but I think she is the kind of player who is likely to struggle against Hevs game type as she seems quite error prone and inconsistent so will not enjoy being made to play the extra balls Hev will give her.

I merely report that Lisicki and Errani have cleared the stage for whoever is due "next" :)

Good start 2-0 up, but Smitkova has a big serve, when she gets it in and a dangerous forehand.

Rocky start but Hev recovers the break to level for 4-4.

Smitkova remind anyone else of Mladenovic? Hopefully Hev doesnt see the similarity.
