nice first set from naomi 6-2

Well done, Naomi.

I believe though that anything she achieves this week is a week too late for the Aussie Open qualifying list ?

Yes, that's right sadly. Still, all rankings increases are liable to help with entries and seedings somewhere along the line

I fully expect Naomi to sneak into the Aussie qualis with her current ranking.

PaulM · Tennis legend

At 259 I'm not sure she would even make the trip unless the cut is already well into the 240s by Christmas.

She must have a chance at WR 259, though there is only a 96-player Q draw for the women at the AO.

Serving at *5-6, Jegiolka saves 2 match points to get back to deuce.

TomTraubert · Futures level

2 MPs got away in the twelvth game at 40-15* so a set 2 TB

L16: (8) Naomi Broady WR 259 beat Justyna Jegiolka (POL) WR 332 (CH 311 in Apr) by 6-2 7-6(3)

QF: (8) Naomi Broady WR 259 v Amandine Hesse (FRA) WR 268 (= CH)

Hesse is on a 7-match winning streak after winning Équeurdreville 25K last month.

TomTraubert · Futures level

Wins 2 & 6(3) :)
good perfomance from naomi
plays the in form amandine hesse next (won last event, a 25K and made QF at several 50's & a 100 since september)

perfect 4/4 for GB ladies in singles today :D

Naomi's serving stats this week are pretty impressive.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Quite a few posts about Amandine, and her background, on the St Gaudens 50k thread, back in mid-May when Baltacha beat Hesse 6-2 6-3

But Amandine was WR 407 back then and has had a 'déclic' recently, with it all falling into place.

Naomi, Sam and Tara all down to play Hong Kong 25K in the first week of the season so they'll be close enough should they make the cut.
