Sad for Hev. As always frustrated too, she's so much better than this. So happy for Richel after the lows she went through earlier in the year. It certainly seems Dutch tennis is on an upswing at the moment.

OMG the whole thread turned into a bashing flashmob against Heather... :help: She ain't no Errani guys! Girl deserves some respect.

BTW congrats Richel, great results so far! :eek: We could at least comment on the winner rather than dragging the loser.

Watson is a nice girl, but I always chuckle when her fans act like she's some world beater with amazing potential. She's just not that good at tennis, get over it :lol:

I don't think any of her fans think that. But to say she is a "puffballer" is ridiculous when her serve has improved a lot, and she gets a lot of aces and cheap points with it and she actually hits the ball quite flat and hard. Pre 2013 she was mainly a defensive player/grinder but that has changed now.

Fun match, great energy from the crowd :yeah:

Heatha seemed a bit injured at the end, but better player today won :yeah: I also don't get the suggestions that Heatha is an aggressive player. It's out of her comfort zone, but she tries :lol: She still gets bullied around by the likes of Hogenkamp and Beck.. far from the most elite ball strikers on tour...

So happy for Richel :yeah: Side note: I didn't expect it, but she's a beautiful girl in person
