I'm hopeful Heather can take the 55 points against Giorgi who is having a poor trot at the moment...68 on the Road to Singapore against Heather 44.

YAY; Heather survive any jinxing there: very nice performance with 11 aces and just 2 UEs biggrin

GSM Watson 6-4 7-5
She was rather good today, didn't lose her serve once, and lots of good play, against an opponent who can blast you out of contention if you let her get started.
Nice work Heather

Great stuff Hev.

Tough one for Tara. Hope she's fully fit.

Sim · County player

Looks like a well timed victory for Hev, beat Giorgi and the rain. wink

The official stats they showed suggested Hev hit 33 winners and just 3 unforced errors in that set.
Can't say I agree with that interpretation, but she was solid and played some nice stuff.

I was there today - I wouldn't agree with those stats either but Heather was indeed solid and played smart against a typically inconsistent Giorgi.

Good to see her win - she usually loses when I'm there watching!

So glad you did actually get to see some tennis and that Heather's match was held without interruptions, eventually. I was afraid it might be a total washout as here is 'drizzled' more or less all day.

If 10/10 Tara turns up, Paszek will be unceremoniously dumped out of the tournament. Fingers crossed.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Saw Tamara play Katie Swan last year on grass. And Katy Dunne the year before. And some of her match v Jabeur.

It's pretty up and down - some great, some really nasty.
