Gutsy hold, fighting off 3 BP.
Good to hear strong support for Heather in the stands - memories of the R1 here a couple of years ago against Pervak, and 'Heather Watson's Barmy Army'
5-4*

Edit: it was R2

TB time

Long game 12 in which Hev had a set point, which Babos denied with a massive Ace, followed that up with another and then a Heather UE means we'll go to the breaker.
6-6

Pretty Classic Hev there.
The highs, the lows, the good, the bad, the hope, the despair and always the fight.

7-6(4)

Come on!!!!

Heather to serve for the match.
A 40 shot rally in the middle of the game, which Hev won, seemed to fatigue Babos much more, and pressure built from there. The break eventually came from a weary DF.
7-6(4) *5-4

C'mon Heather :)
