Good stuff  

Heather is now showing as live ranked 41 which would represent a CH and as high a British women's doubles ranking as I am aware of this century.

A SF win might take her into the top 40, dependant on others. Not bad from taking best 11 of just 14 doubles entries.

She does have a WTA International title defence next week, dropping 280 points, so great if she got that fully defended in advance.

A fit and in form Heather is surely a good Fed Cup doubles option.

Hev has a good partner in Fanni - I hope they stay together for as long as possible.
(Almost a Jaggy bakery, but Begu+ recovered and sved 3 match points)

Great result but will she have to miss Indian Wells?

The Indian Wells draw doesn't take place until Monday 25th, and both Heather and Fanni are entered in singles. Going to be a bit of a rush, but they probably wouldn't have to play until Tuesday.
