At Nottingham there were lots of experienced line judges hanging around and doing menial tasks like carrying towels and opening cans of balls. Hopefully it will be the same at Roehampton and they can be utilised for the job for which they are qualified-calling lines!

Give it a knotted handkerchief. That would have done for the lines folk in the past.

Esther out - just Heather left

seagull · Tennis legend

Oh great. Heather moved to court 3 so cant watch that either

sammmm · Lower Club Player

Heather broken at the worst possible time, 5-6*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Just totally fell apart at *5-5 and now a break down in the second

PaulM · Tennis legend

Prozorova is serving very, very well. With the heat this is like a baked hard court now. But Heather gets a few first serve returns into play to break, and then holds to love with an ace

5-7 4-3*

and takes it 6-3

Grachka · County player

Which she does easily enough. Prozorova looks like she's suffering physically, moving very slowly in between points.

Prozorova 7-5 3-6 *0-0 Watson

Jan · Hall of fame

Great! Come on Heather!!

PaulM · Tennis legend

Yeah doing a better job neutralising some of the power and making the extra shot that gets the error. Great play to get set point, a very soft second serve (a sort of classic Heather 'push') is driven long by Prozorova so we go three.

5-7 6-3 0-0*
