What happened to Hep, who was one of our up-and-comers a couple of years back.

 Matured early and was very good but hasnt progressed much since and has been easily over taken by many others. Happens a lot (Sevil Parviz and Isabelle Britton are two others who spring to mind) Hep is still a very good player and it isnt too late for her but she needs to try to find that bit extra to get back to the level she needs to be at. In the few matches I have seen she is making too many mistakes and also isnt controlling the points like she used to. It doesnt look like there are many technical issues but mostly confidence, belief, courage to go for it and shot selection. Thats just my opinion though obviously! 

 Just to add, Hep is now quite short for a pro tennis player

(she was taller for her age as a 12 year old,, say)

And, although it was partly just being funny, I agree about shot selection and have mentioned before that she plays as though she's a lot taller ! 

I saw one matche where the number of short flat crosscourt attacking forehands, for instance,  that she put into the net by 2 - 3 inches was just ridiculous

She's not tall enough to hit the ball with that trajectory - but I don't think her brain knows that biggrin
