Week 1 - WTA Premier ($1M) - Brisbane, Australia (hard)

That was a nervy match! Harriet showed great determination I thought, especially in the final set. I felt like she didn't relax until all her challenges had been used. I especially loved how she put her hand up like she was in school for every challenge, too.

Great to see her taking the risk by playing in Brisbane, rather than one of the W25s. She's got nothing to lose on Tuesday!

In case you weren't able to watch it, I wrote up a quick report after the match. Trying my best to write up more British tennis results this year as I feel there's a distinct lack in the British media, unless it's Konta, Murray, Edmund or Evans. Would love your feedback as ever :)

Yes, an interesting read of the match Nick! I see the BBC has finally acknowledged Harriet's Brisbane victories, which doesn't provide any account of the match but provides a short quote from her.

Tremendous start to the year for Harriet and it will no doubt give her lots of confidence moving forwards. 80 points is a great total to have in the bank at this stage, even without considering that she doesn't drop any big counters for a while yet.

Good stuff. Sloane may be the most inconsistent top 10 player and don't know the quality of the match but on the face of it a very encouraging start to the year.

 Ha, apart from all the other inconsistent players, who, due to their inconsistency aren't in the top 10 anymore...(Garbi, Penko etc)

But hurrah Jo!

harriet gets sevastova wr11 seed 8
anastasija almost never play bad and also is very smart and unorthodox on court a real difficult test even given harriets great exploits this week any more than a couple games against the latvian will be good showing
