Well done our Hev!

And thanks very much to the night owls.

Thirded! I'm more of an owl than a lark, but am usually slumbering long before this match started.

There shouldn't be any need for such nocturnal heroics today. Heather plays 3rd on Central after Lepchenko/Wozniak and Razzano/Daniilidou, with the first match at 5pm GMT

Heather's latest tweet explains what happened during the scoreboard freeze last night. From 2-2 she went 5-2 down and saved 3 match points before pulling it back to 5-5.

It's probably a good thing that the scoreboard went down after all!

Does no-one want to win the match before Hevs

Julia Carrot · All-time great

And finally
MATCH OF THE DAY starting shortly

Reeltime · Satellite level

Good recovery in the 1st game from Hev. Saved 2 bps to hold

Reeltime · Satellite level

3 bps missed by Hev in game 2. Followed by a much safer hold.

Edit: thats 4 dfs from Hradecka and 2 from Hev in 3 and a half games! Might explain the problems. Not sure if the wind is an issue

Oh my ! disbelief Think we maybe did have the better option just waiting for the scoreboard to wake up and move from 2 - 2 to 5 - 5. What a little fighter !

So from 2 - 6 2 - 5 she won 11 of the last 12 games.

The previous match on this court also featured an excessive amount of DF's, so maybe ?

8 dfs in 3 service games (from Hradecka) is quite spectacular. This match could get a lot tougher if Lucie starts finding the court with her serves.

That went through my mind as well. Hope Heather can take as much advantage as possible while it lasts!

Hradeckas first serve percentage is 34%!

Thats not happening just yet it seems

(lucie finding the court)
