And holds. Advice from Jamie between games.

I thought I saw that (dipping in and out). I also thought that they don't have on-court coaching at the slams - or have I got that wrong?

 Well it wasn't actually on court, he was at the side behind the barrier and she went up to him at the change of ends. I thought it wasn't allowed, but it must be in qualifying, or she wouldn't have got away with it.

 Ah thanks

Goerges
Sharapova
Barty
CSN
Cibulkova
Makarova
Yastremska
Strycova
Niculescu
Bogdan
Jakupovic
McHale
Blinkova
Q
Tan


Those are the potential opponents for Hev. I'd be happy with from Niculescu down. The other Q is a bit of a lottery, most are fair, but I think I'd prefer her not to draw Genie if she does land in that Q vs Q spot.

8th times the charm for Heather in the MD?

Hev looked very happy indeed (the only downside of her winning is that it reduces the chance of both of them getting in, since she'd have had more chance of a lucky loser place)

Contracting and adding a tiny bit of detail to last night's list, she's the 7th Brit in 8 years (and 10th in 15 years) to qualify in New York. Those qualifiers (with the rounds they reached) are as follows:

2018 Heather Watson R?
2017 Cameron Norrie R2
2016 Laura Robson R1
2015 Johanna Konta R4

2013 Dan Evans R3
2012 Johanna Konta R2
2011 Laura Robson R2

2006 Josh Goodall R1
2005 Andy Murray R2
2004 Alex Bogdanovic R1

Well if Hev was smiling, the thought of Hev smiling that mischeivous, warm, genuine smile has never failed to make me smile too

 It's Makarova

Makarova is a former SF-ist here (2014, made the QFs in 2013 too) but Hev leads the H2H 1-0. having beaten her in 3 sets in Monterrey last year.

Makarova has been sinking in the rankings now down at #49 so here's hoping Heather can make the head-to-head 2-0 :)
