GBs new 'queen of clay' wink

beats former world no 62 Stéphanie Foretz in Brescia to reach her 1st ITF Final since Orange in 2007!

SF: CAVADAY, Naomi (GBR) 8 194 beat FORETZ, Stephanie (FRA) 6 188 by 1 & 4 biggrin

This makes her virtually certain of a new CH on Monday week at around WR 180.

You wouldn't believe Cav only won her first senior match on red clay earlier this week!

Keep it up Naomi :) I hope this means she's in good form before RG quallies and then the grass season :D

Great news! Theoretically the decision to warm up on the British tour has really paid off

Excellent week for Naomi, rediscovering the form which took her to 3 consecutive Grade 1/2 Junior finals on clay in 2006. She actually went on from there to reach a 10K semi in Hungary on clay, so I think her coach must be under a misapprehension about it being her first senior win.

This is the type of form we know that Naomi has and was close to having before everything happened. Wonderful to see her finally coming together again

First final of the year and it's on CLAY! Who'da'thunk it?

Noone seems to bother winning in straights since they introduced the MTB!
Awesome stuff Naomi :)

Do the double! What a turnaround from Naomi! Finally the player we were waiting for is back and looking ready to mount a challenge on the top 100. Great stuff, shes clearly comfortable on the dirt.

Tremendous smile

It's great to see and hopefully Naomi can take this form on into the final and subsequent tournaments.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Stunning results from Naomi. I've been so disappointed for a while with her results thinking she was going to fade away. This week shows for sure the talent Naomi has. Please let this be the start of a fruitfull period for her and a push toward the top 100.

Go get that singles title girl.
