May the least bad win.

Not the form from Heather from the last couple of weeks.

If she'd played half as well as she did in Birmingham she'd have been done and dusted in under an hour. This is a real struggle.

She was a different player at Birmingham. ... still fighting though

No !

May Heather win ! smile

(And if they ever play in the US Open, then that one's for Ahn)

4-2 40-30* and misses two second serve returns. So, so poor. She doesn't even need to go big on them. Just go hard down the middle or take less risk into the space - not thinking straight or just pressing too hard?

Jiwan · Club Coach

On the positive, she has really sorted out her serve for the grass court season.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Another weak game to hand the break back. Not even making the doubles court with some of these groundstrokes.

4-4* and Ahn looking the stronger. She's really fallen apart since dumping that return into the net which would have taken her to *5-2 and surely victory.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Better. When she just hits the ball she's fine and has way too much for Ahn for deal with! A very nervous point from both but Ahn eventually nets the slice. Come on!

*5-4

Ahn's game at 4-4, though, was uttterly hideous

DF · Tennis legend

All other matches suspended

PaulM · Tennis legend

Jeezo.

Gets herself in trouble by patting the ball about, drags herself to deuce with better aggressive play, gets a match point, sends a routine backhand miles long. 2 more poor points and we are level.

5-5*

What has happened to Heather's game? She's just patting the ball over! I've never seen her hit so weakly, and even then she's making regular errors. Come on Hev, pull through!!!!

I wonder why they have to continue when everyone else have retired for the night. Both are shattered.

They have a roof, are behind schedule now and world wide tv after two years since they last played. All of the above
