Week 5 - ITF ($100K) - Midland, MI, USA - Hard, Indoor

Kat Sebov has just knocked out second seed, Varvara Lepchenko, and will await the winner of Naomi's match in the SF.
Sebov played well, but I'd still raher her than Varvara.

Naomi has to get there first, and her match begins in 15 minutes.

As Lin Zhu lost eventually in Taipei, retaining the title will keep Naomi inside the Top 100.
Kayla Day looks pretty ominous in the other half of this draw though.

Unfortunately, by virtue of not playing an American this round, Naomi's match is not the streamed one.
Unless, hopefully, anybody else knows differently?

Kayla Day is still a junior. Surely Naomi would be too good for her.

Naomi leads 2*-1

But, that's what we all thought at New Haven last year when Kayla thrashed Naomi 2 & 3

Looks to have been very efficient as far as one can tell.
1 BP in each of two games, and took both. Karatnatcheva had three in Naomi's opening service, but Naomi saved them all.

Ah, was going to mention New Haven.

Day is a talent. Look at her results, particularly over the second half of last year including other results at New Haven, and earlier thrashing CiCi Bellis 6-3 6-0 in Florida in May. These results took her into the top 200. Currently WR 200 from just 12 counters and generally very much on the rise.

The indoor conditions here suit Naomi, but Kayla is probably better than she was in August in New Haven.

It looks to me a match that if it transpires Naomi playing well should win, but far from a given.

Looks like Naomi's serve has clicked into top gear. 4 aces in the last game of the first set, and three in her next service game.

I think my young cousin would call Naomi's performance today, "Beast Mode, ON!"
2 & 1 in 51 minutes, barely out of second gear.

Pretty comprehensive win for Naomi 6-2 6-1 in 51 mins. 10 aces, 73% first serves in, winning 85%.
