I thought the standard of play in the 2nd half of the match was pretty high overall, though the occasional shocker from both players. If anything, Sloane went up a couple of gears and Heather couldn't live with that level. First set was mostly ugly.
I've watched Heather play a lot worse than that this season.
Sasnovich looked very impressive in the first set against Osorio Serrano, less so in the 2nd. Osorio Serrano was unbelievably poor. I guess she's good on clay because I haven't seen many hardcourt performances as utterly clueless as that.
Going to be an interesting match. Sasnovich blows hot and cold, often in the same match but if she's on it Emma may find this quite tricky. After my prediction that heather couldn't lose at the end of her first set I'm staying well away from predictions here. Just hope Emma's mind is firmly back in the land of tennis and not still on the red carpet.
Interesting seeing Jo Konta commenting on Prime re Emma. Amazing seeing the crowds watching Emma practice , a few hundred, she really has that star quality appeal. Jo talks well and enjoying listening to her and Tim.
