Naomi saves 5 bps before holding 2-4*

Oudin holds to love *2-5

Far too many soft errors from Naomi. Only rare moments of conviction.

3-6

All a bit too easy for Oudin who so far, looks a class above Naomi.

Naomi is being schooled here. She's been very poor in the three matches we've been able to watch since Wimbledon, really hasn't been a good period for her. Hopefully has more success indoors back in Europe, she needs the points.

Naomi seems to have completely lost her serve.

Didn't see that much of todays match but in the 2 service games I did see she barely made a 1st serve and last week was the same, where she must have had a 1st serve % of about 25%. Very hard for her to win matches at this level serving like that.

Nik's doubles has started.
3 tournaments running she's gone out in the first round. Let's hope fortunes change today.
1 break each, *1-2

Priesty · Challenger level

Naomi's best results in the last few months have been on grass, I do wonder if she can play well enough on slower surfaces to sustain the ranking she has now.
