come on! Imagine 2 british qualifiers! both their final matches are winnable too!
Anne and Cetkovska are tied at 1-1 both matches coming within a week of each other at the 2 lagos tournaments in 05
Cetkovska won the first 3-6 6-3 6-2 Anne won the second 6-3 7-5
Cetkovska is 129 in the world. Although her ranking is quite high, her results haven't really backed up the ranking and she is only 183 in the race compared to anne being ranked 151 and 180 in the race.
Cetkovska has mostly played 25ks this year, more so than anne and this is why her ranking is higher, i defenatly see an opportunity for anne.
As for Naomi, She is playing Sandra Kloesel. Kloesel is ranked 115 and 144 in the race. She lost to Katie O'Brien at Wimbledon this year but it was on grass.
Naomi and Kloesel have never played.
klosel has decided to tour by playing WTA Tour qualies as opposed to ITFs every week. However she has played a few 25ks this year. She has had moderate sucess but when she has qualified and maybe won a round or so, the points are much more than she'd get in a 25k. I hope anne can start to take that route and it looks promising as there are only WTA Qualies and MDs on her schedule from now til the end of the year. Naomi defenatly is in with a chance.
I think (hope) anne has a better chance of qualifying but you have to fancy both's chances and if they go with their A Games tommorow, we will more than likely have 2 brits in the Main draw. Go brits!
