Harriet should be beating Konjuh. I know Ana did return with a 25K title but it is still early days on her way back.

Even if Harriet doesn't win, I would personally be hard pressed to be upset given Konjuh's history.

Konjuh has been made the 1/2 favourite. Harriet will probably be the best player she has faced since her return, but she hasn't even had to face a TB yet in her 7 matches, and she did beat that young Rakhimova (who qualified and made R2 of the French Open and is now subsequently ranked above Harriet) en route to that aforementioned clay W25 title. Interesting match for sure. I don't think there are any streams, but hopefully something might pop up.

The winner will face another qualifier in the 2nd round (potentially Fran's conqueror), and looking a bit further ahead, the original #3 seed Lizette Cabrera was a late withdrawal, so #9 Chloe Paquet has moved into her position, so Harriet is now the highest ranked in this section. Standout junior Robin Montgomery, who just turned 16 last month, is a potential QF opponent.

Oh and Harriet is 3rd on C1 tomorrow from 10am (following a singles and doubles match), Jodie plays on Wednesday.

Harriet underway. 2 deuce holds to start things off. *1-1.

I disagree, you don't get to be 20 in the world as a teenager, win a junior grand slam single/double plus another junior grand slam without being very talented, this was a pretty shoddy draw for Harriet

Konjuh won the 1st set 6-3

And now a medical time-out, as Harriet leads in the second set *2-1

Harriet wins 2nd set 6-4.

Konjuh gets 5 out of 6 first serves in, but gets broken.

Harriet gets 5 out of 5 first serves in, and also gets broken.

Guess the return game is stronger than the service.......

Another MTO with Harriet a break up (not that that means a thing in this match)

That was a tussle but Harriet finally prevails

Very nice win by Harriet, 6-2 in the third
