Week 29 - ITF ($100K+H) - Astana, Kazakhstan (hard)


R2: (2) Naomi Broady WR 110 beat Vlada Ekshibarova (ISR) WR 451 (CH 352 in July 2008) 4-6 7-6(5) 6-3

QF: (2) Naomi Broady WR 110 vs Ysaline Bonaventure (BEL) WR 396 (CH 141 in July last year)

Bonaventure, Naomi's doubles partner this week, beat Tara's conqueror, Danilina, 7-5 6-4. She had no ITF activity for over 6 months until mid April which no doubt largely explains her ranking drop since last year. I suspect Naomi will have to move up a gear or two from her first two rounds.

I reckon she'll get in. Good win for her today especially considering the position she was in!

Before they face off tomorrow in the singles, Naomi & Ysaline joined forces again to dismiss the fourth seeds, and make the doubles SF together, 6-4 6-2

It would be the biggest title of Naomi's careere, but a win in the doubles here is looking very unlikely, 2-6 0-3*

No title. Pretty much routed.
Naomi & Ysaline lose, in 43 minutes, 2-6 0-6

Not to be, poor result really 2-6 0-6

Still, $2,787 in prize money to share, and 90 points is a decent return for the week

And Ysaline has reached the final of the singles, having won her SF easily. So she will be a lot more content than Naomi about her day's work.
