Seeing the reference to Naomi C winning a title here earlier this year, made me check what titles she has won.  I was really shocked to see how few titles she had accumulated first time around, given her standard of play.  I guess as soon as she showed promise at one level, she was shunted up to the next before she could pause for breath.  Whilst I obviously hope she does not remain in the 10Ks for much longer, I also hope she continues to take things at her own pace and gets to enjoy being best in field more often on the way up.

Naomi has the first set 6-0

Eden losing 1-4

Eden lost 64 76(4)

Disappointing end to the season for her I think.

Very interesting blog from Naomi about Sharm, her coaching, her playing and her life in the last few months in general.

$55 a day, for hotel, breakfast and evening meal does sound very reasonable, and it's a lovely place.

But Naomi says this it the last time she will be playing at Sharm as she's 'moving on to bigger and better things next year' :)
