Awesome. Just what was needed. Helpfully Harriet can move forward now.

Excellent! We've had good results recently for Heather, Harriet and Katie B at ITF level; long may it last. Also kind of crazy that 25k is still the highest level title Harriet has won!

She is more ambitious next week she is going for the WTA1000 in Rome.

Yes taking on a W25 is particularly unusual for Harriet who has generally been the most ambitious of our leading women with stretching herself re entry level.

Her limiting of even the higher ITF levels much of the time will be one reason for the lack of titles from these.

Hopefully a good confidence boost and good to get some wins under her belt. But to be honest anything less would have been a big disappointment considering the weakness of the rest of the field.

Very true. And also why she fell out of the top 100 so quickly. Hopefully she will play more of a mix of itf and WTA tournaments to get that ranking back up and keep it there.

Good confident week for Harriet. Hope it helps her remember how to win, and keep building

Can't believe Harriet has never won a title above 25k level but well done to her getting the wins this week.

Deucebag · Intermediate Club Player

Well done to Harriet showing her class throughout the week.
Would be good to see the higher ranked Brits going and committing to the Clay season before we get onto the grass.
