NAOMI CASH CARD

NAOMI BROADY is hoping to hire a coach again with the money she earns from her Wimbledon wild card. The world No.111 is one of seven British players to be awarded singles wild cards. She lost 6-2 6-2 to two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the second round of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham yesterday, but is having a good grass-court season. Broady (left), who will earn a minimum of £35,000 from the wild card, said: “A few years ago the wild card funded me to employ my coach and that took me into the top 100, so they really do make such a big difference. “I hope to do the same again with my prize money from this year and I’m not too far off being back inside the top 100 now anyway.”
