Naomi dropped the opening set before the weather interrupted

... and is not looking too healthy in the second set.

Yes, it's beginning to be much more lucrative for Naomi in the commentary box now

Arconada served it out when they resumed, so it finished 3 and 1.

Heather's potential opponents play tomorrow.

 Her only real option is to play-down to 15/25K where she might win a match or two. She's not winning at WTA or high-level ITF. She has 4 1 pt counters, 3 5-pointers and 3 8-pointers. She should be able able to improve on that with 10/16 counters doing nothing for her ranking. .

 What has gone wrong. Retirement a possibility?

Naomi thrived when she had a coach who was able to magnify her strengths, and at least mediate some of her main weaknesses. Once she removed the coach she has mostly floundered since, with any brief revival not showing to have any legs. She is still doing considerably better as a doubles player though, so I would agree with Paulisi's comment on doubles and the commentary box being her likely upcoming focus.

Ouch - when you have players like the infamous Rosalyn Small in the 2nd round (as a LL with a bye), it feels rather unfair that Heather has to face Friedsam.
