Nice tweet from Naomi:

Naomi Cavaday ‏@naomicavaday 13m

Thanks to @JTC_Tennis and @VirginActiveUK for enabling and supporting me to give this tennis thing another crack!

And confirmation (if needed) that she's definitely giving it 'another crack'.

Good luck, Naomi :)

Always felt Cav never rose to her true potential last time hopefully she can stick at and take out her career high in the coming months

I think we're probably talking more than months (though I could be wrong) but I definitely think it's possible. I'm sure she's done some thinking and reflecting over the last few years and come back older and wiser, and quite possibly her experience in coaching has given her a different outlook on the game.

Long-term goal it is, but it would also be nice to see her do well at Wimbledon. I thought she was terribly unlucky with her draws when she played there before.

Excellent news

Naomi has now won as many 10Ks as 25Ks

, having won a 10K and two 25Ks before. The points for this plus last week's point should take her up to around WR 800 next Monday.

I am so pleased to see Naomi is back and has won a title again. She's such a talented tennis player and never got close to her full potential. I hope she's seen now that she can do it again and will play for a few years at least.
