That is great, and yeah, I hope everything is OK for her and all the players. Good luck in the semis vs Marrero, Anne!

Peter too is right. With another win, Anne can go as high as 112 which could spare a wildcard for the LTA. GL anne!

Yeh - you are right. I got the 19 points from the printable rankings from the WTA site.  7 of those points do not count as they are lower than her 17th result.  So she is a net +8 and up to 313 points.  Sorry.

On wtaworld there was a report saying that the players are safe in the complexes and although one article said that the main problems were in the center of the city, another said that as soon as you step out of the complex you can see snipers up in the balconies. They're safe right now but it is going to be tough getting to the airport because the one that they are meant to go to is closed down. I hope Anne, and everyone else, can get out safely and quickly without any complications. :)


Oh, and good luck Anne today. :)

SF: KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) 2 126 beat MARRERO, Marta (ESP) 200 6-3 6-1

F: KEOTHAVONG, Anne (GBR) 2 126 v DOMINGUEZ-LINO, Lourdes (ESP) 1 121

This will put Anne on 325 points and a career high of about 109. If she wins the final she will be on 338 points and ranked about 103. She will need about 342 points to join the 100 club.

Brilliant! clap.gif So she now has a half chance of getting a direct entry into Wimbledon and if she wins the final, she is confirmed.

Wow smile.gif talk about holding your nerve under fire (literally!) - it's been quite a while since a GB girl got a DA to Wimbledon. I wonder if she'll be going for lots of lower level WTAs now.

I think the last girl to get direct DA must have been Sam Smith back in... 98? Good GOD, ten years ago?

Absolutely made up for Anne clap.gif That's a fantastic win over someone who has won a WTA clay court title before (albeit back in 06)

WOW.

EDIT: 1999 in fact. She reached round 4 in 98.
