Heather beat Volynets in 2021 and 2022, 4 & 2 the 2nd time. She will need to play well to get her hat-trick.

 Thanks for the link to the article which says "As it happens, late withdrawals meant that Raducanu was upgraded into the main draw of Abu Dhabi on Friday afternoon"

Heather had 3-1 *40-15 but broken.

Better second set from Sonay. Forehand working nicely.

Argh Heather. That 5th game was a big momentum swinger, goes down *3-5 and the American takes the set 6-4.

Level isn't bad, just isn't enough.
