Great Harriet!

Hev was *2-5 down in the first, and saved a bunch of set points, then went up 2-0* in the second.

So great fightback in the first, but then disappointing not to stamp her authority in the second. But tough draw.

Q1: DART, Harriet (GBR) 149 def DOLEHIDE, Caroline (USA) 126 6-0 6-2
Q1: WATSON, Heather (GBR) 5 91 lost to KOSTYUK, Marta (UKR) 119 7-6(3) 2-6 3-6

Q2: DART, Harriet (GBR) 149 v KOZLOVA, Kateryna (UKR) 7 98 CH=62 19/2/18

Kozlova's ranking has been all over the place these past few months. On 18th June she was 65 (just 3 off her career high), by 9th October she had slipped to 123, pretty much where Dolehide is now, but a bit of a resurgence the past couple of months has saw her back in the top 100, just.

She obviously has much more experience on the main WTA than Harrriet and was runner up in an international event earlier this year, as well as winning a 125k event at the back end of last year. Bookies have it close so will be interesting to see how she gets on. She's 3rd on, so roughly 3.30/4am start (UK time), so I guess the vast majority on here will be waking up to the result rather than following it live.

comeback is on as harriet levels the match 26 61
