Level. One set all.

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Heather breaks again to take the second set 6-3.

Kristyna Pliskova has a great serve but her movement around the court is laboured to say the least.

DF · Tennis legend

Broken. First game of the final set: 0-1

Kounosuke · Intermediate Club Player

After a really long game, Hev gets broken again, 0-3 :(

paulisi · Tennis legend

Don't right Hev off. Pliskova cannot keep these levels up

DF · Tennis legend

One break back! 1-3

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Heather playing the better tennis of the two right now, but still a break down at 3-4*

DF · Tennis legend

Lost 2-6 6-3 4-6

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Pliskova finds some big serves in the last game to serve it out. A match where Heather had her chances despite not finding her best tennis.

DF · Tennis legend

Hope for Naomi tomorrow as her game is similar to Kristyna's

Jan · Hall of fame

Very close.

What an awkward player Pliskova is. Massive serve, forehand punishes anything short and full of slices and chops, but her movement and positioning is limited. I'm not sure why her ground shots aren't more aggressive, the potential is there.

Hev was very inconsistent. She had the game to win that and when she served well and was aggressive she looked very good. Her forehand was up and down and not taking the 3 break points at 4-3 was the key to the match.

Court is hideously slow. I don't think hev should have played here, had enough tennis past month and should be prepping for clay. Still a disappointing loss but never mind
