Great to see Tara getting back into her real game in time for the grass court season - she was good in it last year without much reward, would be great if she can prosper this time with reward.
I take on board everything that people say about Océane, and completely endorse it, but I still feel that she has very little knowledge of playing on grass (although she'll learn fast) and Naomi has a bizarre game, difficult to read for a youngster not used to it . . . Go, naomi !

Looks like the case so far - Naomi taking the first with relative ease.
It can be easy to overlook just how strange grass court tennis can feel. The timings are so different, footwork can be trickier etc. Hopefully Naomi can capitalise for now though.
