Goes from 40-15 up to match point down with dreadful tennis. Two good serves give her another game point which she misses. Saves another match point, blows the point at deuce she should have won twice, and goes wide with a backhand.

Shame Emily didn't Burel yesterday, she'd probably have beaten Heather as well. Awful stuff after the first set. She just hands her opponents the win week after week. I get it's a constant circle, short on confidence so you don't get over the line, then you have even less confidence and it happens again, and so on. But her team need to find a way to snap her ought of it. 

I think that Swiatek loss had a much bigger negative impact on her than I expected.

Bet 365 was correct.

 No - Heather has played poorly all year, Swiatek was just one along the way. 

Someone tell me again about the wonderful depth of the top 100 in the current women's game explaining many of the variable results. 

Harriet opens the night session on Stadium tomorrow against Fernandez.

Tara and Emily both in doubles action on Court 5.

Burel was world number 1 junior in 2018.
