bally breaks straight back *1-1

Naomi's clearly a late developer and a ranking inside the top 300 is probably where she should be at the moment. I can't see any reason why she won't make the top 150 in time.

The LTA and the broady family arent on good terms tho, which didnt affect her here as she qualified for the draw on her own ranking, but could it affect future WC chances?

if she keeps banging hard on the door, they won't be able to ignore her.

1 hadned bh :) Nice big serve, good attitude and willing to grind it out in 10k clay events to improve. I say she could be good.

always nice to see one handed backhands, they are a dying breed.

bally *2-2, good hold from georgie.

bally broke to lead 5-2*, but there has been a long pause, so I guess there has been a medical time-out. Back playing now.

Bally 5*-3

Bally converts her first setpoint to take the set 6-3

Can you pay on gate to go to this? I suppose you can only view the outside courts that way but it would be worth a visit I would think.

After another lengthy break Georgie holds serve at the start of the second set

According to Naomi's website she will play Alla Kudryavtseva in the first round (who lost to Katie here last year before beating Sharapova at Wimbledon).
