You have to sign up to the BBC to listen to this - I hate it when people put links in where you have to sgn up or where they take you to another site.

I may be being naive but I assume that it is just registering so you can use the iPlayer and the radio ap.... I listened but got distracted by so much other stuff first... and if you have a TV and a licence its all free or more correctly you have already paid for the content.

Always interested to hear what Hev has to say and being male not something I had really thought about deeply making the assumption that it is a problem for everyone one on the WTA but obviously the hormonal fluctuations in the menstrual cycle effect some more than others even when on the contraceptive pill (and the later may impact optimising performance). I dont know the relationship that Hev has with Proctor and Gamble ? an ambassador but even so would have liked to hear more from Hev and less from Jane Garvey.

An interesting article on Heather in the Guardian today by Kevin Mitchell on her life, loves, and improved happiness. There's a comment too at the bottom about Harriet communicating with a sports psychologist. (But not Heather whose psychological upturn does indeed seem to be from her new relationship).

Definitely interesting. Thanks for posting the link, Michael. More power to both girls' respective elbows.

Good article save for the obvious error. Sabalenka didn't make the Adelaide final. She lost to Yastremska who did. Often wonder how much women's tennis some of these writers actually watch...

Nah, not just women's tennis. Even Andy articles by the same writer has had errors in it.

Heather's win got full coverage by Simon Briggs in the Daily Telegraph i.e. a whole page. A real positive all round.

Two good articles on Heather post her Acapulco victory. The Guardian article is a phone interview, the skysports article refers to the Guardian and the aforementioned Telegraph article, and has more detail.

The 'calming' influence of her footballer boyfriend, Courtney Duffus, is highlighted. Good for both of them, may the influence and her form continue.

Heather has been posting regularly on Twitter and Instagram - it does seem that she is finding ways of amusing herself (and us) in the current lockdown.
