Lisa 2-0 up in the second set. Can she keep it up?

DF · Tennis legend

Well..... back level at 3-3

PockyTastic · Futures level

Lisa eventually loses 6-4 7-6. Dipped in and out so can't comment too much but encouraging play against an opponent ranked just outside of the top 100.

4-6 6-7

Decent performance from Lisa. Ball toss problems but got a few aces as well as some dfs. Ground-strokes fairly solid.

Im not sure about using her PR in these events so early and picking up one pointers. Id have used them once she was back in the swing of things arouns the 600mark.

But she and her team kbow what they're doing!

But, as has been mentioned, she doesn't have much time in which to use them.

I wonder what scheduling Naomi will go down. I think she is down for another challenger next week. Will she have a go at WTA qualifying or try and pick up some easy points at challenger level and push for direct entry at Australian Open?

Pretty sure she'll do Linz qualifying, Lux qualifying, Poitiers 100k, Nantes 50K and Limoges 125K.

If she was going another route then it would be strange not to have entered Kirkland 50K in the US
