But that's as good as it gets. 1-6

I couldn't really argue that the French-Canadian boulangerie delivery was unmerited there.

I think its safe to say its not one of Naomi's better days.

Now 0-3 in the second, and looking completely outclassed; which is no disgrace.

Thought that was a better game, until the double fault. 0-4*

Wow ! That's all I can say. Love game 1-5*

Save to say that the scoreline flatters Naomi and Shelby, I think best to draw a veil over that one.
R2: Naomi BROADY/Shelby ROGERS (GBR/USA) 270 lost to Martina HINGIS/Sania MIRZA (SUI/IND) [1] 2 1-6 1-6

Perhaps Heather will fare better, later.

Not the number one pair for nothing. Totally in control.

That Hingis looks a prospect

Jo's match now in the warm up; full coverage available.

Jo's warming up

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Good solid set, very fast start, blew Lepchenko away and got the break, and held thereafter behind very good serving despite the American digging in and not making it easy, it was still reasonably straightforward. 6-3

indiana · Tennis legend

Jo 6-3.

And a set from going WR 13, and more certainly and more more potentially if she reaches the SF.

But one step at a time. By the way Radwanska, who was the remaining top half highest seed is out to Pavlyuchenkova

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Up a double break in the second, 6-3 *4-1
