Weve got Liv in J50 events and Harriet dishing it in the under 16s; it feels like a scandal we need to get beneath the surface of!

Maybe they've decided to identify as Juniors so they can win biggrin

Heather has just won the first set. I'm really enjoying this as she's hitting so well.

Ruzic has had some great form in recent months so that's a great result.

SF:- Heather Watson (GBR) WR132 [2] def Antonia Ruzic (CRO) WR194 [6] 6-1 6-0

Heather had a onepoint counter from Tampico, so this tournament has become a counter, and she is live-ranked 125 after today's win

Brilliant!!!

Have to say I'm very impressed by Heather's approach to this stage of her career. The decision to drop down a level or two and the commitment to play in these tournaments is very admirable indeed. I'm sure she doesn't really need the money but hopefully the points gained will get her back towards the top 100. Great to see her winning again and playing with a smile on her face too.

It is an approach Emma Raducanu and her team would do well to take notice of.

Heather plays Mika's last opponent in the final.

F:- Heather Watson (GBR) WR132 [2] v Lulu Sun (SUI) WR202 [7]

A repeat of their Australian Open first round qualifying match, which Sun won in straight sets. Interestingly Sun is due to play Badosa in the first round of Dubai WTA1000 on Monday as a wild card. That'll be a quick turnaround.
