Heather is incredibly tight, especially on these second serves which are barely clearing the net. But Prozorova has given her three easy errors off three puffball serves this game.

Another BP here.

Prozorova 7-5 3-6 1-2* Watson (Ad Prozorova)

 Yes, that was an interminable game, with both players barely getting the ball over the net or in the court 

Heather served 2 DFs, just when youre trying to make your opponent play

She looked pretty frustrated

Oh great. Heather moved to court 3 so cant watch that either

 I'm watching on i-player on TV (Andreescu) and following scores on the computer; I definitely heard a cheer from another court which co-incided with Heather winning the second set; so I'm glad she has supporters around her court.

 

Come om Hevbiggrin

 I assume still nowhere near as big a capacity. As has been said, some very strange court allocations.

 Court 1 808 seats - mostly empty. Court 3 has 276 seats.

What a super attacking return of serve, coming to the net and putting the volley away

Another long game but this time two break points saved and Heather holds for 4-4

Does very well to save two breaks points including with a plum corner ace which generates another rant from her opponent. But it's torture on these game points until finally it's 4-4*

Poor return game though, couple of good serves but she just steered a couple of balls long rather than hitting them.

*4-5

Great hustle to get back to deuce and then a ropey double gives her a break point. Strong defence and she gets a ball she can attack and gets it just right.

*6-5

Nothing about Heather's history makes me confident about this being served out straightforwardly, but let's live in hope!

She defended so well on that BP and then super clever loopy forehand into the corner to take it.

Godspeed!
