Ah, just had a look at the match and thought Naomi was doing well to hold Coin to *5-5, only to find when I looked here that Naomi had been doing even better but got broken serving for the set. Still, she just held very easily for 6-5*

Well that was one that got away Coin's a good player, obviously, but that 1st set was Naomi's for the taking. I'm afraid I, like wolf, decided a few hours' sleep was the better option after that.
