One wonders why it has taken Blighty so long. France has many black and mixed race players. But then France has three times more people playing tennis.. even though it has the same population as UK. Heather doesn't fit the UK black underclass stereotype. I've heard her chat, she sounds fairly posh, and thoroughly charming. So her presence is refreshing and very welcome... especially when Laura Robson fever hits overkill lol.
