Angelica made a surprisingly good fight for 2 sets against the 2nd seed but lost the decider
5-7 6-2 1-6

Heather plays Shymanovich.

 She was actually serving for the first set but couldnt close it out. Could have been a dramatic win against a player who reached #65 this summer with $1.25 m earnings at the age of 21. Couldnt quite do it but a great efort.

Worth noting here - as someone else did on one of the other threads very recently - that Angelica Blake is listed as USA on certain sites - the other poster was posing the question whether she's now changed nationalities for tennis

But great effort whatever

No she is still GB. Probably UTR and some college sites havent checked her ITF / WTA profile.

I had mentioned it because the tournament website had her as GBR in the player field when they first announced her as a wildcard and later in the week changed it to USA. Had they had her as USA from the off I would have just put it down as a mistake, but the fact that they changed it aroused my suspicions. As it's her home venue I thought they might know something in advance of official changes.

Incidentally, although she has complete her undergraduate studies I believe she is staying at Stanford for another year.

I know Danny Thomas is friendly with the family, so I'd take his version.

Indeed. Most likely. 

But Lambda's right to point it out.

Tennis explorer and tennis live have her as US (although often one-off mistakes get repeated) 

She also has a pretty heavy US accent

The only thing that matters is that the ITF, WTA and LTA all have her as British. I can tell you that she is happy about that ! As are her British Parents. No secret plâns afoot .

Not much can be done with her accent I guess but shes not the only British player with that issue.

And yes, her plan is to do another year at Stanford to compensate for the missed Covid year.
