Naomi edged the TB 11-9 to get the win :D

Bizarre tiebreak, from 5-5 eight minibreaks in a row with SP and MPs on serve being traded back and forth.

The first set had but one break and I believe 5 aces and no DFs from Naomi, then the second set had a bit of a glut of breaks and DFs from Naomi then that tiebreak. Kinda glad in many ways we didn't have a third set.

Well, Naomi's serve has been impressive and consistent of late, but it seems that it "went" in the second set today.

But the important thing is that she is through. Now any decent coach about ?

Naomi's opponent retired in R1, and she comes through a long tie-break to win in R2 - you can tell that Naomi is on form at the moment and long may it continue!

Victoria hasn't played since Wimbledon last year.

Huge respect for Victoria Duval to some through and win her R2 match - she was one set and 4-5 down (I think) when I looked and yet came back to win in three.

Although one wants Naomi to win, I don't think anyone will be sad if Duval wins - it's an amazing story for a young girl to have to go through and the interviews before and during this tournament have been very moving.

Emily+ going well.

Emily+ got the first set but have been broken in the first game of the 2nd.

From *5-8 to *9-8 only to double fault for the first time in the match. Ouch. Over and out 11-9

Thats a sore way to end

Vicky Duval had to retire from doubles and so we will have to wait and see if she will be fit to play Naomi tomorrow

Strongbow · All-time great

Drat cry

I do want Duval to play tomorrow against Naomi, but I would love to see Broady win this tournament - I actually think she has it in her and it's been a while since she won a 25k.

Huh?

Well Done Naomi.

Obviously would like her to win but agree with the comments about Duval. Great to see her back.
