Well done, they. Thought they might be an interesting pairing ...

Very nice. I hadn't previously realised that there was just an 8 pair field so they are into the SF.

SF: Naomi Broady & Nicole Gibbs (USA) CR 336 (140+196) vs (ALT) Gabriela Ce & Veronica Cepede Royg (BRA/PAR) CR 426 (218+208)

The alts beat the number 2 seeds, Dabrowski & Fichman.

One more dubs win would see Naomi take out her CH so here's hoping :)

Naomi now in R2 action against Crawford, won the first 6-3, 1-1* in the second....

indiana · Tennis legend

I looked in on the score for Naomi at 6-3 *1-0 *40-0 so I thought Id just observe her serve out that game. She immediately double faulted and a futher four points later ..

6-3 1-1*

Err, I'll leave her to it, she'd clearly been doing fine, though DFs outdoing aces.

Looks like you did the right thing Indy! Naomi now back up a break at 3-1*

Bad news ....Naomi lost the 2nd set 7-6(4).

Good news... she is 4-2 up in the decider.

Was 4-0 up now back on serve at 4-3, tough to see her winning from here

And she loses the 3rd set 4-6 :(

Jeezo same thing every week. Looks like her current ranking might be causing a bit of a mental block. All her losses have been from massive winning positions.
