DM played some lovely tennis, but Naomi wasn't destroyed and has obvious assets. To move forward I feel she has to see this performance in the wild card context, ie by definition it's a miss match and yet her serve and powerful forehand gave her opportunities to win.

Tweaking of her mindset and a focus on optimising her movement are areas where a slight improvement may yield significant success particularly on grass.

I thought Naomi actually played quite well; I mean, I've seen her play far worse.

She did some good damage with her weapons and certainly had her chances.

The thing that bothers me is that she never seems to make any real improvement in her weaknesses.

Watson vs Garcia is almost too painful to watch.

Agreed re Naomi CD I thought she could still win after first set sadly her opponent knew her weaknesses. Heathers match will be over soon sadly not a good day for the ladies.

Heather has a foothold in the second set @ 2-1*...

Heather finding a good level now in the second.

Naomi for me played overall well but when she got her chances in the first set she played far too negatively. Really should have broken and paid the price in the end.

Naomi played so poorly I'm afraid. Was far too negative. One main stat was serve volleys with Duque at 100% and Naomi at 0%. She plays so low and flat for someone so tall. Needs to sort out her footwork. Sadly our women looking a little under prepared. I thought hve would give a better account of herself than this as well

Agree foot book terrible ! too negative . Wasted points with "I am Agassi " down the line returns that were miles wide got to get return back deep and make the opponent play

forehead slice why so frequently ? I do but I am. 55 and my movement is poor and in kent team doubles leagues you get away with in ! Never seen Naomi get a lob in ! First serve % poor . Good news £29,000 keeps her on the tour I suggest a new coach ! and a ban on forehand slices for a couple of months

Hev only won one game out of the first 8, now she's has won 3 in a row, as Garcia struggles with her serve.....Come on Hev!

Garcia is throwing this away her serve has gone momentum shift.

Shout-out to Sam Smith (I think) on BBC commentary, for describing Garcia's serve as "granite solid". Since when it has disintegrated. Hev leads 4-1.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Well done Heather 6-3 takes the second. Garcia serve down to 36per cent though. Looks like play suspended

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Bad decision by Heather she clearly doesn't feel it leading to more evidence that Garcia lost that rather than Heather winning it.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

hev should have stayed on.
