Eugenie beat Diyas, and would be Hev's next opponent, if she beats CSN today.

On the live rankings...

live-tennis.eu/wta-live-ranking

...all the players who were ahead of Heather in the race for the last few seeded spots at Roland Garros have now lost; but Heather is due to lose her Prague2014 100k+H points in the next update.

So she needs to beat CSN to stay in WR41.

Beat Eugenie to move to a new CH, but almost certainly unseeded at the French Open.

Beat (presumably) Kvitova, and she would have a new total of 1399 points, and be WR32 - which is her current stated next career goal. Given that Kvitty is far too scared of Heather to ever play her in the run-up to a Grand Slam...

Heavy loss. Hope she can pick herself up and not get too down.

Could have been alot closer but then again its still a bit of a drubbing, still one win from this week isn't a bad return.

Carla has gone on to the final, beating Halep in the semis, confirming her recent run of excellent form and known expertise on clay.
