Looking at the live odds, despite Heather being a set and a break up she is still the underdog.

Heather had a match point there but it's *5-4. She's going to have to serve it out.

I saw Heather against Kontaveit at Wimbledon and she really does look like a different player in this tournament. So much more conviction in her shots and hitting the ball much harder.

Really well done. So good to see her smiling again.

Superb 3 top 50 wins in a tournament, onwards and upwards for Heather, love to know who she has been working with to get this turnaround.
