Weeks 35 & 36 - US Open Doubles - New York, USA - Hard


Shelby careless down 0-30 but they take the next 4 points for 4-0*

Bondarenko back to back dfs to concede another break *5-0

Naomi with a df but still manages to hold to 30 for 6-0

--

Bondarenko holds from 0-30 *0-1

Naomi holds to 15 1-1*

Decent play from Naomi to reach 15-40, rather gifted the final point *2-1

Naomi loses a battle of instinctive volleys, then Bondarenko's super return dissects N + S but Shelby with 2 good serves closes out the game 3-1*

Easy hold for Bondarenko *3-2

Naomi survives a long game with 2 bps saved, a few too many weak shots from Broady in that game 4-2*

Chuang holds to 40 *4-3

Naomi largely irrelevant as Shelby holds to 30 5-3*

N + S have 15-30 thanks to Naomi's two winning volleys then fail to land a return *5-4

Naomi fails to serve out the match, untidy game from her, Shelby also at fault for at least one point 5-5

N + S break to love while I wasn't watching *6-5

Shelby fails to serve it out, shot selection choices not so clever recently 6-6

Bondarenko looks pretty flat after her singles loss earlier, and Chuang has leg and arm problems, but Naomi & Shelby just cleared everything up very efficiently,and are clearly having a high old time of it, gabbing away between points and at the sit downs.
An extra $5K each for a win here - would pay for perhaps a couple more hours of Fitzy's time

Opponents looking much livelier. Naomi & Shelby did well to hold a long game, under some pressure, on Naomi's serve just now to maintain their advantage, 6-0 4-2*

TB *6-4 Naomi DF, then Umpire over rules a Shelby shot as out (which in fairness was right below the chair), 6-6*
And they contrive to lose the TB 6-8

Naomi not having much tiebreak joy at this event. That double was a shocker.

Annoying. Had the match.

Bit of a basket case of a match, but at least it looks set to have a happy ending 6-0 6-7(6) 5-0*

5-2* Ad, MP, Chuang saves it after an amazing long point, involving all four players multiple times, with a fantastic winner. Drat.

6-0 6-7(6) *5-3
