Anne was broken, but then Sema held her serve for the first time. 4-4

They're getting the hang off this holding serve malarkey. Anne holds to love, Sema to 30. 5-5.

Anne wins 2 long games, firstly holding and then breaking to win the first set 7-5. smile

Hopefully Anne has broken Sema's spirit. She holds to 15 then breaks to 30 to take an early lead in the second set. 2-0

I don't think Anne has played Tammy before although Tammy has played our other girls quite a few times.
Naomi C has a 1-0 record,
Elena 1-1
Katie 0-1
Sarah 0-1
Mel 0-2

Has Katie peaked in the rankings and do a Melanie South and slide back down. At this time I think only Elena and Anne are genuine top 100 players. naomi B great result let us hope injury free season and inside top 250 for Wimby WC Naomi B too much criticism I think still to reach her potential hopefully within top 150 or higher

Judging by the score in the second set, Anne got all the bad service games out of her system in the first! wink

Well done to both her & Naomi.

Very encouraging win from behind by Naomi. She and Anne are both on first tomorrow, but unfortunately not on court 1, which Bet365 is covering.

In the second mention of Naomi did you really mean Naomi C ?

scottie1 · Futures level

sorry yes mean naomi cavaday too much criticism in my view

Silver · County player

Naomi C just needs a little more consistency. I totally agree she has the potential to be top 150, if not higher. It will come. She's oh so nearly there again. To be back top 200 after the nightmare time she had is nothing short of impressive. Let's hope she stays there

Naomi B has the odd brainfart week but then wins matches you sometimes think she shouldn't... Once she's got the consistency down, she should be up there challenging too. She's oh so nearly there

I am much more optimistic about the women's game... as are many I would suspect!
