Victorious Broady moves into top 100

British number three Naomi Broady has broken into the world's top 100 for the first time after winning an ITF tournament in the United States.

The 25-year-old from Stockport beat American wildcard Robin Anderson 6-7 (6-8) 6-0 6-2 in the final of the Dow Corning Tennis Classic in Michigan.

Broady came back from a set down to win her ninth ITF singles title.

She jumps from 112th to 96th, joining fellow Britons Johanna Konta (28) and Heather Watson (84) in the top 100.

The ITF tournaments are a developmental circuit for players who are not competing regularly with the world's elite on the WTA Tour.
