Naomi's site says she beat Suomalainen 6-0 3-6 6-3 in windy conditions

but it also says that she will play the winner of Vickers and Bindi in the QF, which implies that Samantha won and "WS Delefortrie bt Vickers 6/3 7/5" is wrong ... hopefully Naomi's version is correct and Drew's informant made a rare mistake, but I guess we'll have to wait for the drawsheet to be updated to be sure.

L16: Broady def. Suomalainen 6-0 3-6 6-3

steven · Tennis legend

Updated now that the BBC have published some results. Like Drew, they have Samantha losing in R1, but that may not confirm anything because they no doubt got that result from the same source as he did.

R2: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 1 383 beat SUOMALAINEN, Pila (FIN) Q UNR 6-0 3-6 6-3

Looks like Naomi's site was the one with the wishful thinking and Samantha did go out in R1. I'll fill in the missing results 2 posts up once I've posted this.

scottie1 · Futures level

Vickers was beaten in first round as the Belgian player was on court against Bindi. Broady has the firepower to win this title but the young Hungarian is good ie Babos. today the weather was very windy really strong gusts. Naomi blasted her way in third set overpowering the finnish girl. Spoke to Jennifer Ren who said she did not play "too well today" and that the weather affected her play.

QF: Broady def. Bindi 6-1 6-2

the match was played indoors because of more rain. well done on breaking the quarter pattern naomi, now win it.

steven · Tennis legend

QF: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 1 383 beat BINDI, Raffaella (ITA) 5 644 6-1 6-2

SF: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 1 383 v PIQUION, Natalie (FRA) 3 520 or STIERLI, Kim (SUI) 1049

The match to decide Naomi's semi-final opponent has been held over until tomorrow (not sure why if they were indoors anyway, perhaps they were offered the option and Broady/Bindi agreed to play indoors but the other two preferred to wait unti lthey could play on clay. Either way, Naomi is going to be by far the better rested out of her and her SF opponent.

Naomi will now jump from GB no. 9 to GB no. 7 ahead of Naomi Cavaday (and previous top GB teenager Amanda Elliott, whom she was already going to pass) on Monday week unless Cav scores points in a 50K or above event next week. She is also the 7th highest GB points scorer so far this year, behind Cav but ahead of Wobbly.

That doubles competition should have been televised. I demand the BBC pick it up ASABP.

Great for Naomi to make a semi!
