Bit of a missed opportunity there. Hev went 30-0 up and at 30-15 PP got the rub of the green with the net. Hev then hit 2 feeble shots into the net as PP held to 30.

PP takes the next 3 points and instead of serving for it, Hev is serving to stay in it. Watson didn't like the ace PP recorded to take the game, she felt it was out.
PP then gets the next 4 points to hold again. So many times Heather has been in this a great position but couldn't get over the line. Tie break at best for her now.
So, frustrating. Lost it to 5 on the tie break. Had *5-4 as well, but lost both points on serve.
Awful when you're watching a stream for nearly 3 hours of a close but winnable match and it goes the wrong way. Good week overall and back in the top 100, but a big opportunity missed here for a first GB WTA title for a long long time.
Unlucky for Heather - PP served really well at the key moments. Heather also served well, however. An exceptional week, still, by the year's standards :)
