Naomiserved for the set at 5-3, but eventually Katie broke back.
But Naomi broke serve again from 15-40 to take the set 6-4, and will serve first in the second set
Gutted. Left work just after Katie squared up and fully expected her to see it out. This to me does feel like a 'pesky' win. Probably relying fully on Hev now for a qualifier.
Lost 6-1 in the decider. Naomi will likely have her supporters on here but I honestly can't take any positives with that. Naomi has been in awful form this year, particularly losing twice to Myers. As a Brit, I naturally hope she does qualify but this does feel like a blow to British tennis when the young, high seed on the brink of the top 100 loses, particularly in the manner of the third set. That's twice in a few weeks now where she has lost 6-1 in the decider after squaring it up.
