Phew.

Keep fighting Naomi! And crash a few big serves down while you're at it.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Got there in the end, hopefully Naomi can continue the momentum into the third.

steven · Tennis legend

Quite impressed she actually managed to close that set out after so many chances went begging.

Let's hope that gives her some momentum to take into the 3rd.

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

Abit too nail biting for my likes, glad of the result though.

steven · Tennis legend

Naomi breaks at the start of the 3rd but gets broken back immediately. Gronert then holds 26 76(7) *12

I'm getting the impression this must be a very exciting match to watch. Wish some of us were there trying to outcheer the home crowd!

I ownder whether the Germans would be rowdy, when I went to see Hev in the final at Shrewsbury, it was like a morg.

indiana · Tennis legend

Would be confident of victory if it goes to another breaker, especially with that stat.
