And great day for Hev !

Well done to both - they play well together

Have been at Nottingham for the last three days and saw Heathers match today. She was really quite impressive. Positive but patient against an opponent who must be a nightmare to play against. She managed to overcome a really dodgy call when poised to break at 3-3 in the second set.
Given the crowds support for her and the reaction at the end, she remains a very popular player which, coupled with the 4th Rnd showing last year, may well be enough to give her the nod for a Wimbledon WC.

Did also see Jodie and the two Katies yesterday- Jodies match was of fluctuating quality but glad she got through. Katie B always had too much for Emily Appleton. I left Katie S after she had won the first set against Cornet. That was an impressive set of tennis - couldnt believe she had lost when i looked at the scores a bit later.

As I said in the mens thread, this was my first visit. Nice tournament with good facilities and the volunteers really helpful.

Great day for Heather.

This is a hard watch

THe number of unforced errors on the break points is just awful

It's a real shame - there's some good tennis

But the first two break points, in the first game, were probably the worst though - a bit like Sonay the other day - a real chance at the start to rattle your opponent, before they've settled, make them doubt their tennis that day, and you do really tame faults.

Katie looks by far the better player, Snigue has a terrible serve and just slaps away at balls like a sadistic prison guard.

Is that Snigur forehand the ugliest shot in the WTA? Its like a caveman swinging a club.

I would personally say the actual quality hasnt been too bad though. Preferring it to Burrages match on Tuesday, although in both cases Im sure the relative heat makes it tough.
