Fabulous performance to win 6-3 6-1.

Big difference today was her forehand was totally on. Best I've seen her for some time.

Yes, she played really well, and that forehand was great all match.

Well done Heather! Was able to watch the last few games. Excellent stuff.

 Fed losing and Hev winning, what parallel universe is this?

5-7.

A number of early breaks, had 5-4*, but then only won 2 points of the final 14.

 That is Harriet BTW, in case anyone is confused when reading this in the future.

Harriet lost 5 and 2, didn't see any of it, but saw on Twitter that Harriet took an MTO which Babos wansn't happy about. Assuming it was genuine, then it might tie in with that niggle that was mentioned the other day.

She can at least now get to New York in good time for US Open quals. I see that quals start on Monday this year - I assume some will have their first Q1 match on Tuesday, and ideally the 2 finalists here, because it's a Sunday final starting from noon (M & W), so the second semi final could finish around 6pm, and Van is also 3 hours behind NY, so would be a bit of a nightmare if they did have to play on Monday.

Hopefully Hev will be worrying about this potential scenario in a few days.
