Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Goodness, how good was that ????

Bravo, Hev.

Strongbow · All-time great

Well done Hev biggrin biggrin

wimdledont · Challenger level

Played another superb return game to break back for 4-4, goes on to win 6-0, 6-4.

That's the highest seed to be knocked out to far. Azarenka or Vesnina next, with Vika up a set.

Great win for Heather! First set Hev started in peak form with everything out the middle of the racket and Sevastova was nowhere near her. Second set was more of a battle, Heather was never going to maintain that level and Sevastova improved, but Heather having outplayed her opponent in the first outfought her in the second.

Well!
Jo Durie may not be surprised by the result, but I certainly am.

The result and the manner of it. Sevastova is a quality player, very smart, and full of guile, who was in good form, winning the Mallorca grass court tournament just two weeks ago.
And for the most part Heather blew hew off court with not much of a flutter.

One of Heather's best ever wins.
Superb

Jan · Hall of fame

WOW!!!!
I just got home, hoping to catch some of Hev's match. That was quick!!
Great win

Sim · County player

Well done Hev. 1st player through to the 3rd round.

That has to rank up there as one of her best wins. 4th time she has made the 3rd round of a Slam ( 2 previous at Wimbledon, and one in Melbourne).

Up to 78 on live rankings, although that might change during the day, as there are a few that can overtake her.

And it will be Vika next, who has just beaten Vesnina 3 & 3 - and rapidly getting back to something like her previous form.

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Heather plays Azarenka in R3 which could be a fantastic match. I'm going on Friday, and if that match is on Centre Court I'll have no complaints.

goldfish · Futures qualifying

That was just so good to watch - confident, mostly accurate and feisty when broken. Great to have Heather back at this level.

Jo 2*-3

Both playing to a very high level. Wouldn't be surprised if fitness comes into this, if it goes to a third set; in the match to decide the next ooponent for this pair, Kr Pliskova is wilting in the heat. Jo had a quick match in R1, Vekic 2 1/2 hours.

Rich · Lower Club Player

Fantastic stuff from Heather. I thought she would have a chance if still playing well. But that said it's Wimbledon and a seed and you don't wanna get too excited. But what a result and smashing her way back into the top 100 where she belongs on this form.

Jo 6-6, superb contest

Sakkari has beaten Kr Pliskova, and awaits the winner

Heather v Azarenka
