Looked like she was on course for an easy win, but in the end it needed a third and Heather did well to turn it back around.

Good draw!

R1: (Q) Heather WATSON (GBR) 66 vs. (Q) Irina FALCONI (USA) 75 (CH 70 10/2013)
H2H 2-0

Winner to play either Abanda or Petkovic, and a possible rematch with Serena in R3.

Edit: updated rankings with this weeks data

Fingers crossed Heather can continue the trend against Falconi :)

I'd expect Hev to come through this but these days you never know.

Heather is 3rd up today on Grandstand court at about 8pm BST; GL Heather :)

Heather may not get on today.
First, Alize has decided she wants yet another 3½ hour epic (you'd have though she'd had enough of them!), and so her match is still on Heathers court, with Riske vs. Bacsinszky to follow before Hev.
Secondly, its now also raining.

BT Sport will show it live, if the rain ceases.

Pretty much washed out: only 2 singles and 1 doubles completed.
Bad news for most, as Heather has been rescheduled for ~01:00 Wednesday morning, UK time.

Good for insomniacs though? ;)

Randomly big court assignment for Heather's match being on grandstand which means it is televised, the downside being the late scheduling.

I'm assuming BT sport are a factor here, I know at GS's that certain nations ensure that their players are scheduled on televised courts, even if the match itself doesn't look worthy of it.

Ms Falconi also likely a factor for the US market.

Just spotted some interesting scheduling. Serena's 2nd round match !! will be completed before teatime, whereas both 1st round matches in that section of the draw (inc. our Hev) are scheduled for the night session.
