Interestingg match between Naomi and Fran.

Incidentally, the final scoreline was that Fran lost it 3-6 6-2 2-6 ( if we are putting it that way round on this occasion :) )

So that's Ms Cavaday back in the top-25 table ... or have I got it wrong? If she is, it's a very welcome development.

Yes, I think that win should take her ahead of Jazzamay on tiebreak.

It's good to see, but on 9 ranking points to date Naomi will know herself that there's a long long way to go.

All the best to her.
