Well whaddya know???

Tennis on Telly: Anna Blinkova and Nadia Podoroska have withdrawn from Monterrey doubles so Heather Watson and Zheng Saisai have a walkover into the final.

They'll play Lara Arruabarrena and Ellen Perez or Caroline Dolehide and Asia Muhammad.

Heather on brink of return to top 100 doubles now, 102 live and a final win will take her well back to the early 90s.

I think her doubles final will be Saturday night ?

Don't be fooled into thinking Heather has started to play well. I'm afraid she hasn't.

Have only watched a little of the doubles but yes Zheng has certainly looked the star.

May they both have a good final.

Why do Amazon never provide commentary on doubles matches?

Will be a cost thing no doubt - but at least they show doubles. Most of the other main providers like sky, BT, BBC rarely used to.

Ist set gone.
