JAMES4578

Unfortunately Heather out in first round, fought back in 2nd but went out to Flipkins 6-4, 7-5. Thought it was tough draw and Heather losing points when she is outside the top 100 is a setback.

28-08-2018, 12:20
I think Heather has come in for undeserved 'criticism' from, for example, the BBC. They reported that for 8 years in a row, she's lost in the 1st round. True, but they didn't say how well she had done to win 3 matches in qualifying, or whether her losses in previous years had been against higher ranked players, as many were. Just 'she lost again'. Typical of BBC really, they can't have a go at Mourinho cos he won't talk to them so lets pick on the British tennis players, especially as they don't show much Tennis on BBC. If they did, you can bet the players would hailed as 'history makers', or 'International Superstars', as many of the Euro Athletes were.

Teresa

I agree about Heather. She is one who maximises her talent. It always gives me a warm glow that she has the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles trophy to console her.

Certainly good news-well done Heather ! , Hopefully gives Heather some confidence as has been a struggle in singles most of the time lately. Wonder if that Serena Williams Wimbledon match ended up being a poisoned chalice,though maybe not the decisive factor. Think it's up to her though if she does not want to concentrate just on doubles.

Heather played a really good match, serving well, backhand and forehand holding up, thinking well. Wang DIDNT play well, and played like she didn't want to be there. But take nothing away from H, it was her performance that forced Wang into the negative place. At the end the interviewer asked Heather for a few words for the crowd. She was also asked to hit a few autographed balls into the stands. She could have handed them out individually and still had enough left over for a second serve. She managed to say, 'I hope there are more people here tomorrow for some great tennis' !

I watched the final set. Couldn't believe they were still on court when I got up as Heather was on court during Dan's match much earlier. Partly explained by the fact there was a rain delay but also it was a very long match...3+ hours. Huge kudos to Heather for hanging in there and believing she could win. Mertens was the #1seed. Heather was a very happy bunny in her interview. Well done her. :clap::clap::clap:

I watched it on Prime. Coco had a bit of a melt down! She broke a racquet clean in two over her knee! That would take some effort!

I was watching the match, got a bit worried when Heather didn't get the four match points in the second set.... then I promptly fell asleep & woke when it was all over :facepalm: then it was panic stations did she or didn't she get the win....Phew absolutely WELL DONE HEATHER, great for her confidence, mind got to say the Canadian is a really good player for her age .... which will please Fiona:thumbup:...Brilliant Result Heather so pleased for her!!! :thumbup:

Good for Heather. I'm glad my Canuck took her to three sets tho'. She's only 17 - hopefully a promising future ahead.

I have not watched all of this (Prime Video) but Heather is down a set and a break - a chance to break back now.......
and she gets it together to take 2nd set 6-2.
3rd set could have gone either way but Heather finally takes it 7-5. A very good performance from Jodie in, I think, her main tour debut.

Not sure how I feel about the whole situation. Players claim they've been misled, AO say different. Must be hard, being stuck in your room for 14 days when there is nothing wrong. Like the people on the cruise ships in the early days of the virus.
