Anne K and Naomi Broady are into the quarters of 50k in Germany. It should be enough for Naomi to reach top 200 for first time ever.

Martina Hingis joins the @pmouratoglou (http://twitter.com/#%21/pmouratoglou) academy in Paris and will be specifically helping out @NaomiBroady (http://twitter.com/#%21/NaomiBroady) as one of four pupils. Intriguing

Congratulations to Naomi Broady who won the doubles title with Kristina Mladenovic at the ITF $25k in Poland this weekend. They defeated the Polish pair Linette & Kania 7-6(5), 6-4 to take the title.

Broady reached the quarter-finals of the singles event and has today reached a career high ranking of 200 having broken into the top 200 in the world for the first time. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy:

Well done Naomi! :cheer::cheer::cheer: Who does she play next?

Am I right in thinking that Naomi is Liam Brodie's sister? If so, what a talented family!

Here's an interesting article. I remember years ago in the early days of the first forum, having a convo with Arka about promising juniors. We had both picked out Tara Moore as one to watch, but since then I've been thinking that we were both wrong as so far she hasn't done anything like as well as we expected, and has been far surpassed by Heather and Laura. However here is an article suggesting that she might start to fulfil her early promise. http://www.onthebaseline.com/2011/12/29/tara-moore-is-poised-to-have-a-break-through-year-in-2012/

Strange, it's not working for me now but it was earlier :confused: - I'll see if I can find where the article's gone.

ETA: strange, that article was only posted yesterday but it seems to have been removed :confused:

ETA2: here (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KqvEES3CUcYJ:www.onthebaseline.com/2011/12/29/tara-moore-is-poised-to-have-a-break-through-year-in-2012/+Tara+Moore+on+the+baseline&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) is a cached copy.
