Week 4 - ITF ($25K) - Andrezieux-Boutheon, France Hard

Naomi's in a nice little 8th, hope she can make it count.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

It's going to be a slightly strange match as Naomi and Conny are teammates and play doubles together.

They're also, I think, quite good friends (Tara and Conny certainly text a lot, maybe Naomi less so).

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Despite being second seeds, Naomi and Amandine lost their first round doubles match, 7-6(4) 6-3

PaulM · Tennis legend

Naomi is somehow down a double break 1-4*

I'm going to have to go watch her in Glasgow next week just to see what the hell is going on with her game. Mess.

This is hopeless, loses 14 points in a row

1-6 *0-1

Broken to 15

0-2*

Perrin holds to 15

*0-3

Her draw to the quarters couldn't really have been any easier given the field.

PaulM · Tennis legend

A glimmer of hope as she breaks back for *3-4 in the second set

PaulM · Tennis legend

Misses two break points

*4-5

PaulM · Tennis legend

Loses 61 64

Got herself back into the match after a horror show start, but then crucially failed to finish the job with her break points at 4-4. Quickly down 0-40, saves two, out.

It's not getting any better for her is it? Poor girl, really sad to see her churning out results this poor week in week out. Not long before the ranking starts to take a hit.

For perspective, excluding matches she has won by retirement, that's in Perrin's top 5 ever wins ranking wise.

Hopefully next week brings the start of better things for her :)
