Nope, they'll write about Bencic, Kvitova, Del Potro and all, but not Heather when she's winning. Still got the story on the webpage about her losing to Potapova.

To be fair, that's more of a doubles issue than a Heather Watson issue. There was nothing on the BBC site when Bambridge/O'Mara reached the equivalent Pune final or Salisbury in Brisbane earlier this year. If she wins the she'll likely get a mention like Murray/Soares did when they won Sydney, but if they don't, they probably won't.

Potapova struggling physically here and Alexandrova was significantly taped up in her narrow and heartbreaking semi final loss to AVU (had at least 5 MPs and was 5-2 up in the decider), so not sure either of those will be in a great state of mind or body in their forthcoming doubles match - they face each other as part of an all Russian affair.

It's the older Russians for Hev and Fanny tomorrow as Zvonareva and Alexandrova come through a match tie break against Potapova and Blinkova.

I watched a bit of the Russians match vs Naomi, Alexandrova has no clue where to stand at the net and her volleys weren't the sharpest, but of course we know already Zvonereva is an excellent doubles player.

 Seems by far the weakest player in this match. 3-2* after a break each (should be 4-1 IMO)

Zvonereva making few errors, and Heather and Fanni missing the lines. 4-6 *0-0

Heather can keep rallies going but she's not very good at hitting winners from the net. 3-0 up in the second set so looking promising.
