They both seem to be having problems serving today, 7 DFs each so far.

Drama started as Harriet breaks back for 4-4. Heather's second serve down to between 63 and 67 mph in that game.

 I use NOWtv which uses Sky.  You need to go to the tennis bit and then find the US open qualifying or the WTA section at least on Now.

it is just there.

 

No idea how this will end.

For a set and half Harriet was as bad as I've ever seen her. Im not sure Heather (who also isn't playing well) got all that much worse although she did get very passive, Harriet just got slightly better.

I wanted Hev to win but don't see it now.

Heather 6-2 4-6 Harriet

3rd set - for every one of the 12 British QR2 and FQR matches so far, with Fran to come.

So far from these the set 1 winner has ultimately won just 3 times, the set 2 winner 8 times. Momentum? ( though not much momrntum for set 1 winners into set 2, given clearly all the set 1 winners have lost set 2! )

 Heather looks to be running out of steam a bit. One serve, into the net was 57mph, though she did go on to hold serve. Harriet could beat herself yet of course. She was terrible for a set and a half.  She was basically getting stressed about things like the air con machine not working. Looks the more likely winner now but still capable of self destructing.

Early signs look good for Fran. Already a break up.

Hev has 40-0* to break back in the third and does a poor job of it.

Harriet 4-1* and looking pretty comfortable.

Heather faded badly in the third set. Looked as if she just didn't have the energy and match fitness to keep competing. Decent win for Harriett who has come through a pretty easy qualifying group of players but not convincingly.

Shame for Heather but I do feel her singles career is probably coming towards its conclusion.

 And yet, from this event, Heather is still in the top 5 in Britain 

Glad for Harriet, though, she really had to struggle, wirh herself more than anything
