After that save, Naomi breaks back for *2-2

Spectator · All-time great

Ms Broady must have broken back, as it's now 2-2 on serve.

By the way, just to make us all feel old, Claire Liu, who has made the FQR, is the first 2000-born player to win a match at a Grand Slam.

Naomi recovers from 15-30 to hold 3-2*

YD recovers from 15-30, including her first ace, to hold *3-3

Naomi with her first df and a 7th ace, holds to 30 4-3*

YD holds to love, much improved first serve percentage so far this set *4-4

In a long game, featuring 1 ace and 2 dfs, Naomi wastes 4 game points before taking her 5th 5-4*

Oh heck, I still remember so well what I was doing on Hogmanay 1999 into 2000.

Boogying the night away in the days when I still did err boogy.
