Hmm, rankings-wise it doesn't seem too bad, but I could think of at least 10 players, probably more, who I would rather Hev was against. AKS is in decent form and just won a WTA title on clay the other month with a good win over Arruabarrena in the final. I'd make AKS a big favourite here.

It is a decent draw for an international and just shows the strength that the Czech Rep have - probably deserves Premier status to be honest. Interesting to see the Pliskova twins being drawn together.

Under way then, watching from behind the sofa, like old-school Dr. Who...
In a mocking piece of coincidence, who should be currently on court 2? Miyu Kato!

Heather, 0-1*

Certainly agreed that Schmiedlova was a big favourite today but one hoped ...

C'mon Hev !

Must admit I did find it hugely ironic when Bates was heard to comment on the sidelines at a Katie B match a while ago "she's so negative" !

With hindsight you'd think it would have been better for Heather to have stayed in Japan with Gabi and entered the 80k tournament just to get a bit more confidence.

Oh Heather. What are we to do here?

If this continues throughout grass...the less said the better.
