I'd agree that I think it was more a match-up problem than a follow-up problem.

 

Yes very much my view from what I saw. Frustrating as I don't think she'd have had trouble with a lot of other options there and would have fancied her in the final round. Qualifier slots are also much more friendly here than IW. But oh well.

 

Harriet is in the main draw for Bogota and very close to a seeding. So not sure if she will do Marbella. But it's a long fortnight to hand around over the Atlantic now so schedule may well change.

It looks like, she has indeed withdrawn from Marbella

If Heather could beat Rus she would play Svitolina . Svitolina is not at her best these days.  As far as qualifying is concerned there are on paper some useful players here. That includes Harriet, Martic, Juvan,Claire Liu, Yastremska, Kalinskaya ,Qiang Wang, Bouzkova. This is a more impressive list than some of the players in the main draw. .  Heather might be glad she is not in qualfying.

 I think I put  a curse on the qualifiers as the first 3 names on the list  Harriet, Martic and Juvan all lost in the 1st round of qualifying. 

 The first 5 named failed to win a match (including 2 retirements ) and the last 3 got through the first round of qualifying. Hard luck for Harriet.

I hate to be negative but Heather is such a bad match player. Any sniff of a lead and she goes passive

She did well to recover from 1-4 down in this set. Saved two break points but not a third. She's probably just about the better player but not when it counts.

Apologies to Heather - I had stopped checking scores as I thought this would be over soon.
Come on Hev, you can do this!!

And, with a break back, and another break, and then a wonderful volley off the wood of the racket, she takes the second set

My gosh. A pretty bad dropper does enough to get the break.

Two nicely placed first serves are unreturned. Two tentative first served and weak rally shots leave it 30-30. She then plays a frightened point, going for some weird mid court slice stab when she had an open court to drive into. Rus easily gets to it but stays central and Heather manages to come up with a miss hit volley winner.

Good serve, and we go three.

6-7(5) 7-5 0-0*

Rus gets the first hold of the decider. Which feels fairly crucial.

*1-2

 Rus, left lower thigh getting treatment. Now playing again, and going for her shots trying to shorten the points.
