Well!
I had dinner early to make sure I could watch it all if it went epic.
And... it's already over!
Well done Heather

She was stuck there watching, like those who had actually bought tickets.

Lazy cow only took 47 minutes exercise. ;)

Tied for the second shortest WTA match of the year to date.

Cetkovska made a UE every 2.5 points.
Record against Sloane is good, but most recent meetings are more even.

A very solid professional performance by Hev, against someone just going through the motions. Another match against Sloane, who has started to turnaround their H2H, with 2 convincing wins against Hev last year. Hev is in much better fettle now though. Got mixed emotions about the return of Diego, it may of course just be for this tournament. They clearly get on very well, but I felt that in someways that it had run its course after Hev's stagnating form in the 2nd half of last year.

As Fitzy once said, it depends on which side of the bed Sloane decides to climb out.

WTA found 3:14 of highlights from somewhere!

Curses; Heather is first up today on Stadium Court at 3pm GMT; would've liked to have seen that with my feet up having knocked off for Easter!
GL anyway, Heather :)

No, Vohor she's third on Stadium after two ATP matches so about 19:00 maybe.

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

If so, that's good news DF, thanks :)
Curses aimed instead (again, I ought to learn!) at the WTA order of play which has the match starting at 11am Miami time ;)

vohor · Grand Slam Champion

Yep, DF, the OOP on the ATP website confirms what you say; if the WTA website OOP completely ignores the ATP matches on some sort of weird principle it could at least put a match number in the left hand column rather than a time which is baloney!

Hey ho, memo to self: for combined events consult the OOP on ATP on all occasions...

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Heather in play, repeat of yesterday would be nice! BT have coverage, 1-0*

It is just me, or does Stephens looks like she's about to give up already?
