Long may this new improved Harriet continue!

Peter too · Tennis legend

Harriet lost to Alina in three sets when they played in 2023, maybe the new improved Harriet can turn that around.

Someone, somewhere suggested she needed a rest, perhaps this has done it?

She hasn't really had much of a break, she played the 1st week in December so 5-6 weeks off before qualifying.

I was actually surprised that prior to today Diane had a 2-0 record against Harriet and both matches on grass, as Diane would be a player that I would expect Harriet to beat when at her best.

I may be imagining it, but it seems to me as though Harriet has a good year followed by a lean year and last year was definitely a lean year, atleast until the Autumn.

She changed her training base after the summer. She now lives and trains in Dubai which seems to have done her the world of good.

I might be mistaken but isn't Harriet's biggest title to date only at 30K level?
