Harriet breaks in the first game. It looks no where near as windy as it did last night, they were having real problems with the ball toss when serving last night.

Strongbow · All-time great

First set to Harriet 7-5

Strongbow · All-time great

A very even match with both players struggling with their serves. 5 breaks in the first set and two so far in the second.

F: DART, Harriet (GBR) 140 lost to YUAN, Yue (CHI) (5) 107 7-5 5-7 0-6

The first two sets lasted two and a quarter hours with Harriet defending, being driven from corner to corner for much of it. She must have covered an immense distance and i think that took its toll in the end.

Really cant understand Jodies schedule here. Its almost as though she thought she was guaranteed a direct place.

Yep, Jodie the robot should be playing 52 weeks a year.

She is down for Andorra then Dubai in a couple of weeks. You really wanted her to play in Japan in weeks in between following BJK Cup?

Playing the indoor 125s makes sense for Jodie I think, and the Dubai event is always popular for end of year sunshine.
