are you sure? WTA scoreboard shows it is 5-4 Wang with the ball next to her name ie serving? or is it wrong?

Edit - it must have been wrong as it literally has just changed over to HW serving

Well Done Heather !

Heather wins 6-4 7-6(6). A slightly nervy tiebreak but some great play sees her into the final.

Great chance for Heather to win. Even though a low quality tournament to win a title would be great. When was the last time a British woman won a full WTA title?

Jo won Miami 2017, before that heather won Monterrey 2016, she clearly likes mexico.

How soon we forget who has won a "won a full WTA title?".

In 2017, Anna Smith's Nurnberg title (May), was after Johanna Miami title (March/April)
Both of those are older than Naomi's 2018 Monterrey title though, which remains the last full WTA title that a British woman has won, to date.

Hoping Heather can refresh the counter again here.
