They are poor today so far. There is still great potential there but the past 8 months have been pretty lean. 3 wins since Wimbledon.

Darya Kasatkina beats the number one seed Venus Williams in three sets and next up will be Naomi vs the number two seed.

  1. I was courtside yesterday for Naomi's match. It was a tight affair and she played so well in the third to get the break back. The second set she came up short as her opponent brought her up to the net where she is less comfortable. 

The tie break was equally close and she started poorly with a DF but backed herself to keep serving big which is her real strength. All in all a great perfomance.

That's good news
Hopefully she can perform well todayin what will surely be an even sterner test.
The match has just taken to court.
