The girls trade breaks at the start of the second set, but Heather breaks for a sixth time to move *31 in front

and then holds from 15-30

41*

Looks as though Hev's found another gear - nearly there!

PaulM · Tennis legend

A quick break for Heather (aided by several double faults from GGM) leaves her serving for it at *51, but she is broken to 15

52*

2 match points. Missed.

Hev gets broken while serving for the match but serving doesn't seem to be an advantage here - 12 breaks in 17 games, Hev has taken 7 out of 13 break points, while GGM has taken all 5 of hers.

Hev about to receive for the match then ... 6-4 5-2*

PaulM · Tennis legend

A third match point is missed, as is a fourth. She then saves a game point before missing match point five.

GGM takes her third game point and its *53

Now it gets tense...

that was a marathon game.
Come on Hev

PaulM · Tennis legend

Very quickly down 0-40. Broken to 15

54*

GGM breaks again

6-4 5-4*

Jan · Hall of fame

oh dear, looks as though my optimism was a bit misguided. Come on Hev - let's break here please

steven · Tennis legend

aargh - 6-4 *5-5

PaulM · Tennis legend

Oh dear. Heather gets to 30-30 but GGM takes the next two points.

*5-5

Can't say I'm relishing the next 10 minutes. Come on Heather, dig in.

PaulM · Tennis legend

This is a pretty epic collapse.

Broken to love.

5-6*

steven · Tennis legend

GGM breaks to love and will serve for the 2nd set

Jan · Hall of fame

I have to go out for a bit. Hope Hev can turn this round
