Vekic is completely imploding here. Have to hope she can't focus and channel it into bringing back something special though.

6-4 2-0*

*5-2

Had a match point, saved a couple of break points. Getting tight at the finish line, not surprisingly. Here's a second match point...

Finds the big serve and wins 6-4 6-2.

Superb!

It's usually very stressful watching Heather but I really enjoyed that one. Played really well so looking forward to this afternoon.

Based on a quick check of the WTA website, i think that might be the highest ranking player she has beat since Hobart 2020 smile (excluding her win over Zhang by retirement in the last round). Lets hope she can build on that.

 Heather is our 1st semi finalist at Birmingham since Jo Durie in 1992.  Ons is currently the highest ranked  WTA player never to have won a WTA singles title.
