Oh damn, Harriet in agony after the winning point.

Harriet took 15 seconds from winning the match to make it to the net to shake hands. Her body gave up the moment she won the match. She was really struggling during the last game, initially shaking her leg then stretching it out inbetween points.

Anyway, she played very well in the 2nd and 3rd sets. Some super shots from her, even a few aces. Fantastic movement around the court, great defence and unleashed her groundstrokes whenever she had the opportunity.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Oh really , not good news, but what a great win.

What looked the issue? An injury or maybe just cramping?

Edit : ah, that's sounding probably cramping?

It looked like she was cramping but who knows ? The physio was treating her a minute after the match ended; using ice packs on her thighs. Harriet was in a lot of pain from the moment the match ended.

I heard the word cramp whilst she was talking to the trainer but you never know with these things

Her upper thigh I think, stream cut off while still getting treatment.

If Harriet had to withdraw would she still get the points for MD qualifying?

I would assume she would get the 40 points for qualifying but would not get the extra 10 points for R128 unless she turns up to play the match.

In the normal event women qualifiers only get R2 onwards points on top of their qualifying points. Applied to Slams, they don't get 10 R1 points on top their 40 qualifying points whatever. I assume that withdrawals would keep the 40 points.
