Hmm, must be bad as you'd thought at that scoreline and the other person serving for it, she could have just let her opponent fire 4 aces. Shame. She had that 60k event in Chile next week where she's well up in the main draw - hope she's OK for that.
Difficult to know, I expected Fran to qualify here with ease just hope shes OK re general wear and tear on her body; particularly hands and wrists. She has had a superb year transitioning as a 17 year old turning 18 in September particularly when you compare her with the girls a year older who kept playing juniors, Jodie and Emily App. Like everyone else on here lets hope she is in good shape to play in Chile.
It will be interesting to watch her development in the next 4 or 5 years once her body stops growing. I wonder if it will be tougher or easier on her hands and wrists. To be admired regardless on what happens, getting to the top 400 at a young age is an achievement in itself.
Not the easiest, but you'd like to think Naomi could come through that. If she does, it could set up a rematch with the talented Ukrainian 15 year old as she has an SE and plays a qualifier first.
