She's been bumped up, replacing Cristian who withdrew late. Probably could have done with the qualifying points to be honest but gives her time to acclimatise to the clay I suppose.
I literally just wondered if it was possible for Heather to play but then discounted it as qualifying had already started so thrilled she got a WC into the MD.
Yes from a set and a break down she stayed calm and tidy rather than beating herself up, so she was able to take advantage as Gracheva went off the boil, and found some better tennis herself.
Just missed a break point in a long opening game of the decider though.
Excellent depth from Gracheva, and a heavier ball, meant Harriet really struggled for most of the match. Shame she got bumped up from qualies, the wins and points if she came through would have given her a bit of momentum.
