I'm going to disagree with Tony and say that Bondarenko will be a decent step up, as she is slowly getting back to her previous solid top 40 form, so a win for Hev would be above her current par.

For any insomniacs Heather's match should be starting at about 4am UK time.

Not insomniac, just overworked ... and sad to report that:

Kateryna BONDARENKO (UKR) [q15] 82 (CH 29 12/2009) d. Heather WATSON (GBR) [q4] 60 - 6-3 6-4

 Looks like you were right although I'm sure you would have preferred not to be. 

A shame for Heather but maybe a bit unlucky to get an opponent who is under ranked. Still a match an on form Heather would probably have won.

Oh poo!

Definitely helps soften the blow of heather's losses knowing JoKo is doing so well though!

 Definitely !! Bondarenko is someone I've followed recently, who has consistently been giving the top players a decent match, not sure how long she's been back, but clearly someone heading back into the top 50.

Their respective records since Wimbledon are hugely in Bondarenko's favour so that loss for Heather is in line with current form; here's hoping Heather can relocate her own best form soon (before the Hobart points drop off would be nice) :)

If anything, that scoreline is better than I expected for Hev. Bondarenko has been getting great results the last couple of months.
