Seems like Fitzy is now in Naomi's camp, hopefully it will be beneficial for both parties.

Em played two good games to level then a poor one to hand back the break

2-3*

Very messy tennis sadly.

Strongbow · All-time great

She played two really good games and made her opponent seem very ordinary. Sadly the errors, mostly unforced, have returned. Maybe she needs a rest because she still has something.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Out 61 62

That was really, really bad

She has to drop down now i think. Her game looked massively off and she needs to find wins. If she gets the momentum behind her it will start to click again I'm sure of it. The tennis is in there.

R1: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 194 def LUKIC, Vojislava (SRB) Q 340 4-4 Ret.
R1: WEBLEY-SMITH, Emily (GBR) 351 lost to MIN, Grace (USA) 207 1-6 2-6

R2: BROADY, Naomi (GBR) 194 v KING, Vania (USA) 427 CH=50 2006

This is Vania's first tournament since August last year. In R1 she defeated 5th seed Julie Coin, so unless Vania is tired Naomi will need to play at her best.

Em's doubles going well generally and this week so far with the great escape, but not her singles. But I'd guess that she still wants to compete in singles as long as she can, just better ...

Trouble is the points on offer in 10k dubs are no use to Em even if she wins the title; here's hoping she goes deep this week

GL in R2 Naomi

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Not the way you want to win but glad to see Naomi get through.

Next round will be very tough.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Naomi just starting

Strongbow · All-time great

Emily has played about 40 tournaments in the last year - perhaps a few weeks R&R re called for.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Naomi 5-3 up opening set

indiana · Tennis legend

Naomi finishes off the set with an ace, just her 5th so just warming up

6-4

indiana · Tennis legend

Naomi breaks at the start of the second set and has yet to be broken herself in the match ( faced 3 BPs )

6-4 *1-0

kundalini · Specialist Reporter + Intermediate Club Player

*3-4

broken twice in the 2nd set. Was 1-3*. Some very long games. Naomi has had tons of bps in this set 2/10.

4-4* Naomi holds 8 aces 5 dfs in total.

*5-4 Naomi breaks

5-5* another df, broken to 15

*5-6 More bp chances for Naomi but saved

6-6

tiebreak

5-5 5-6* 6-6 *7-6 7-7 7-8* 8-8 *9-8 9-9 10-9* 11-9

Naomi wins on her 3rd mp in a tiebreak in which winning points on serve seemed incredibly difficult.
