Week 25 - WTA Premier ($712K) - Eastbourne, UK Grass

indiana · Tennis legend

We just have Naomi & Heather in the doubles.

R1: (WC) Naomi Broady & Heather Watson CR 248 (108+140) vs Racquel Atawo & Abigail Spears (USA/USA) CR 44 (22+22)

Having closed in markedly as a result of Birmingham, Naomi will go GB doubles #1 on Monday week with Jossanna not defending their Eastbourne QF 100 points from last year.

Totally agree, great effort and very encouraging.

Hoping Laura doesn't suffer Second Match Syndrome again today......

Annoyingly, I can find a stream of the match on court 1, but not Laura's on centre

Well, it's her 'second' second match, albeit it a much better opponent than yesterday, so I'm hoping she'll be a little more used to it.

I'd already written her off before it started today, but then I did that just before her run a few years back in the USO, so I'm hoping that she will surprise me.

Grachka · County player

Total collapse from the point she was broken at *4-2

WavenNarsam · Lower Club Player

Stats don't usually give the whole picture, but in this case I think it's pretty clear. Second serve points won is far too low. Her high first serve percentage and points won off the first serve were keeping her afloat. When that started to falter, so did Robson's service games.
