How has she lost that set?

Heather was 40-15 to go 5-0* up and then her own collapse (I don't think Strycova started playing well until 4-4) cost her the set. Now Strycova is playing better, so recovering the advantage when she should have run away with this set is going to be a tough ask.

Well, at least Heather's lasted longer this morning than Vika, who's been bowled out of Rome 3&2 by Begu.
