AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Gracious of Naomi to make it an interesting match for us

Well done Cav.

The step up in level for next week will be very interesting to see.

Naomi served 6 DFs early in the match but none in the final set and served her first ace in her final game. It was a pretty close match with Lazareva breaking 5 times in 12 attempts and Naomi 7 in 19. Total points Lazareva 90 Naomi 100. This should give Naomi plenty of confidence for next week's $25K in Bath.

Congratulations to Naomi. Very impressive run, her last 4 tournaments are Win, S/F, Win, Win.

top 500 will not be long - that was a good fightback.

DF · Tennis legend

Impressive !

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Great stuff. Hopefully a decent draw next week to see what she can do at 25k level. A win i think will put her top 500

Naomi is certainly heading back to that top 500 sooner rather than later. Would take two wins in Bath to maybe be enough, taking her from 47 to 56 points, which is the points level of the current WR 500.

On Monday 10/11 we will have 7 players all within 17 ranking points from GB no 8 to 14, including some injured players or in Anna's case concentrating on doubles, all just in, have been in or not far off the top 500. I could see the number of GB top 500 women challenging and possibly overtaking the number of men in 2015.

GB women on Monday 10/11 :

8 Samantha 62
9 Anna 57
10 Amanda 53
11 Harriet 50
12 Eleanor 48
13 Naomi 47
14 Jade 45
