Very much hope so. But with the Hev of most of this year one that to me very much looks like it could go either way.

I'm forever hopeful, but Liu may well prove to be too good. She qualified for Wimbledon (QWC) and took a set off Kerber in the second round.

Heather should beat Liu but Lui is a good up and comer and Hev is out of form.

I don't necessarily agree that Hev should beat Liu. You can't complain about drawing a (non top 20) wildcard, but Hev sneaked in here due to withdrawals and theres's only around 20 places in the rankings and Liu is in a lot better form of the two, plus she is playing in her home country.

Out of interest, the bookies are finding it hard to split them. Liu is actually a very slight favourite and shortening at 4/5 whereas Watson is evens, but without studying the draw too much, on current form I doubt there would be too many opponents where Hev would start as favourite. Definitely a chance though so fingers crossed.

Similar styles, both good movers, but Hev has greater weight of shot
