Down to the last chance saloon, 6-4 5-7 2-5*

So Naomi blows a set and double break, and a break in the final set to lose 4-6 7-5 6-2

Had break points at 2-3* as well

Not great to lose a match like that have done so well to get into a winning position

Would have been a really nice win if she'd closed it out. Never mind.

QR1: Naomi BROADY (GBR) 107 lost to Annika BECK (GER) [q7] 65 6-4 5-7 2-6

After Beck, it was a section that there was a decent chance of qualifying from, too.

Did anyone see any of the match to know if Beck stepped up or Naomi choked.

The courts here were VERY slow last year and so I was pretty impressed Naomi took a set and had chances to win. Shame to come so close but a good effort all the same.

Naomi into the doubles as alts with Madison Brengle, they play Klepac & Martinez Sanchez.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Team Bre-ady are not rising to the occasion, 1-6 0-2*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Lose 61 62

Not nice to get a beating, but an unexpected top up to the prize money coffers at least.

She's not sticking about in the Middle East, instead playing indoors in Budapest next week, where she is in the main draw.

Such are the vagaries of the Ranking System, that,despite failing to score significantly here, Naomi is actually set to return to the Top 100 on Monday.
