Hev's been watching Andy's lobs I reckon - she just played a great one!
It's 5-1*

Garcia is playing terribly, so a great opportunity for Heather.

Jan · Hall of fame

Trainer for Garcia.
She's obviously been struggling with something.

WavenNarsam · Lower Club Player

Garcia is taking a MTO I think. Looks like either the hip or the back?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Lower back pain, according to the French sites, that she had before the match as well.

Who's the commentator? Trying to be neutral but a Garcia supporter by the sounds of it.

Garcia playing more freely now but Heather still coming up with some great plays and strong serving :)

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

Some great rallying from Heather and she's on the cusp :)
5-2*

No idea why Caroline continued this match - she can barely move properly.

Seems daft.

But well done to Heather - after all, if she'd lost earlier someone else would have got the benefit.

Congrats Heather :D
GL against Flipper tomorrow; make it 3 winning finals out of 3 :)

Feel sorry for Caroline, who has been on a good run since another round of Fed Cup heroics.

But not that sorry

Whoop! Heather

Flip, I was going to get chance to watch second set well so I thought, but Heather's just gone and won already.

I could take to these non roller coasters though.

Well done !!
