Week 12 - WTA Premier ($5.4M) - Miami, USA Hard


R1: WATSON, Heather (GBR) 43 v Qualifier

 

If Heather gets through that round she next plays 13th seed Angelique Kerber

Kerber is ranked 14 with a CH of 5 in 2012

After Kerber would be Kuznetsova and then Serena for a place in the last eight.

That's another cracking draw potentially as Kerber is in complete meltdown mode and of course Hev has already played a competitive match against her at last years Wimby.

Fingers crossed Heather gets to meet Serena then :)

Haven't researched this fully but if that occurs I reckon Heather will be on a new CH #37 assuming 5 out of Vinci, Barthel, Pavluchenkova, Begu, Bencic and Vanderweghe lose in R1; at #36 if they all do: that's not gonna happen though [reverse jinx?]...

Hmmm...think Vanderweghe may just be out of reach in that scenario so it's 5 out of the other 5 for new CH #37 :)

As always it really depends on who the qualifier is, but she's got a shot at the 3rd round here. Kerber, as Phil says, has been a mess recently.

Kerber a mess ? That strikes me as quite pleasant viewing.

Her match against Stephens was definitely not pleasant viewing!

 You also have to look at the Casey and  Riske that she could be overtaken should those just below go deeper in the tournament........

Oi! My favourite non-Brit player!

I'm actually quite worried about her, she has looked beyond miserable on court from start to finish of every match this year, and that trademark scurry and fight has completely gone.

But, yes, given the complete lack of Angie's form, it is a good draw for Heather - my favourite Brit.

I've never warmed to Kerber. Can't put my finger on why not. I don't dislike her as much as I used to but I find her very meh

Lisicki is my favourite German player has finesse on the court

Doubled and trebled. She seems to have a permanent 'face' on, as though life is just a misery, or unfair, or she's being mis-treated or whatever - Cornet does the same - gets right under my skin . . .
