Apart from the match Maza refers to Heather also lost (more comfortably: 6-2 6-2) to McHale in the Junior Fed Cup final. Third time lucky hopefully.

DavidC · Tennis legend

Heather is second on court 3 tomorrow, The first match (Kerber v Lepchenko) starts at 9am BST

philwrig · Hall of fame

Not sure who is favourite for tomorrow, but I expect another epic match.

Livescore not functioning yet this morning for this tournament. It's 10.45 in Rome, not raining, and some matches started at 10 o'clock. Let's hope its sorted by the time our Hev is on !!!

____________

Ah, somebody has found the switch now ( or got in to work finally!)

It worked for a while but has now been stuck for 20 min plus. The match preceding Hev's looked like it was going to a 3rd set, but for all we know Hev could be playing right now!!!_____

As if by magic - I finally whinge online and it is sorted, just in time to see Lepchenko win over Kerber in 3 and now is Hevvertime biggrin

(and no, I don't see any palm trees just tall sort of Piney things)

good luck
will be doing livscore on heather's thread on amuzz.com

i really need her to win this one. was having some banter with an american fan on tf last night. i need to have the last laugh.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I think we all need her to win this, but Hev most of all really needs it, for herself.

Probably quite nervous, but 1st game in bag 1-0*

And breaks 2*-0

2bp's, Oh no, saves 1, but not the other cry

2-1*

3 games in 20 mins.

heather will hopefully come out on top this time

It's WTA, it's so often a roller coast ride.

I think it can often be better just to look at the game score and not bother about who's serving smile
