Interesting she picked this over Acapulco, where the field isnt all that much stronger

I presume that as Naomi presumably has aspirations in qualifying for the main IW event, then travelling on from Mexico would be inhibitive to that effort, also you get acclimatisation and court practice on the same courts as will be used in the PM Q.

Naomi has started playing now and has an early break *2-0

This should not be a complicated 4 points for her. Already a second service game. 3-0*

Hopefully only the prelude to Naomi's full exploits this week.

Decent start; fingers crossed Naomi can have a good run this week :)

With GB #NextGen going such great guns, can GB #CurrentGen keep up?
Naomi attempts to place a marker for the 'old guard'.
1-0*

Naomi breaks at 4-3 and then serves it out to 15 to win the first set. 7 Aces in her 5 service games.

The incumbent crop not yet ready to "go gentle into that good night"

Welcome Ace Ventura
(bit disappointed you didn't take the chance to use: That [set] was a close one ladies and gentlemen, of course in every contest, there must be, a loser. Lew-Who, Za-Her!)

Boserup saved two BP at 6-3 5-5* 40-15*
She held for *5-6
Naomi started *0-30, and now faces a set point at *30-40...

Ugh. Naomi was a set and a break up

Will need a third set.
6-3 5-7

14 Aces, and 93% first serve won, but only 39% first serves in (pretty much identical number across both sets). That's not a workable formula. Boserup is up on serve %, down on won %, but her second delivery is helping her more than is Naomi's

Haha.

Naomi just can't seem to get any sort of run going so far this year. It's one Q win then defeat and so on. Ideal opportunity last week indoors, but couldn't get through the first round of quals.

She is up an early break again here though, let's hope she can take advantage this set. The ace count is still high.
