Heather can have no complaints about her draw and she should win this easily. Then I think she plays either Petersen or Sharma in which she should also have a great chance of progressing. No excuses not to make the main draw in my opinion.

Do we know of Jo is definitely going to be able to play? If so she can beat Muchova who really hasn't played that much this year or that well at times though she's a decent player of course.

Muchova has been successful in 2 of the Grand Slams this year.She lost in 3 sets in the semi finals of the Australian Open to Jennifer Brady. She also reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.She just missed a place in the Czech team at the Olympics. With Jo not being seeded if she is not able to play , a lucky loser will not disturb the draw.

Heather went 2-5* down but just got a break back

*3-5

PaulM · Tennis legend

Does the hard work to get back to *5-5 30-15 but makes errors under pressure on next three points

5-6*

PaulM · Tennis legend

And Volynets holds comfortably. Sigh

5-7 *0-0

PaulM · Tennis legend

Broken from game point up. It's not as ugly as against Burel, but she's not really doing anything with the ball.

0-1*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Better passage of play here. Getting some much needed free points on serve and a couple of nice drop shots.

4-1*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Someone has pulled out the main draw so highly possible it's Jo, we'll see.

Is there a livestream please?

PaulM · Tennis legend

There's one on unibet.

Heather makes a mess of 40-0, but saves two break points and holds for 3-0* final set.

PaulM · Tennis legend

3 aces in a row (I know, really!) take Heather to 5-2*
