Adding that title to the GB successes list, I notice that it's the first women's doubles title won by an all-GB team so far this year - the other four only had one Brit in the pairing.

SF: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 1 383 beat PIQUION, Natalie (FRA) 3 520 6-2 6-1 

Phew, at last we've got one finalist out of how many no. 1 seeds has it been in the last 2 weeks? Well done Naomi

Here's an eye-witness account, thanks to Grachka on GBTG:

"So after Smethurst and Willis wrapped up a 12-10 final set tiebreaker win, the whole thing moved indoors. The main celebrity to be seen was Alan Mills of Wimbledon refereeing fame, who referees this event each year. He was to be see outside, remonstrating with a noticeably disappointed Natalie Piquion, who seemed to want to play outside on the clay. It soon became clear why:

(1) Naomi Broady GBR d. (3) Natalie Piquion FRA 6-2 6-1

Naomi is about 7 feet tall. Piquion is not and was rather dwarfed by her. This game started as it meant to go on, Naomi firing down decent serves and booming winners every direction. She raced into a 3-0 lead, then comfortably held serve for the rest of the set and broke to close out the set quickly. The second set was all over from the first point, Broady quickly led 5-0 and Frenchie girl was lucky to get her last service game. Piquion isn't what you'd call a bad player, but she isn't exactly inspiring. She makes a decent amount of noise, with a little 'oooh' type squeak coming from her, but her shots just kinda sit there mid to 3/4 court 95% of the time and Broady was good enough to swat them away. Naomi's backhand is a delight, delicious, thrilling and frightening all at once - although it kinda looks like she is going to mi**** it each time, but rarely does. My surprise was that her forehand is also excellent now, she hit many winners off it and, unlike her French opponent, she was willing to play shots other than standard groundstrokes. She came into the net, dropshotted and lobbed...Muchos impressed. Doubt she'd be that effective on clay though, since she is a little...ungainly? Since play has been moved indoors most of the week, where there are nice, fast indoor hardcourts, that probably explains her rapid progress.

After her win, Naomi was in much demand. Ballboys and girls were pestering her for some time asking her to sign their t-shirts. Celebrity life is hard!"

According to tennisforum it was sunny in Edinburgh so play started on clay.

Babos lead 6-4 *1-0 when it started to rain and play was suspended until at least 1.30

Naomi must be hoping it continues to rain and the match is moved indoors.

ARGH. Gutting. So close.
