Well done Amanda

I think that will be enough to take her into top 500

steven · Tennis legend

Hopefully you'll turn out to be right, but Amanda's got 2 points to come off from Vic last year when these get added. That'll take her total 62 + 4 - 2 = 64 and this week, two of the players on 64 points are in the top 500 but three are not.

Amanda has definitely cracked the top 500 now! biggrin

QF: (6) Amanda Carreras WR 506 beat (Q) Cristina-Madalina Stancu (ROU) WR 857 by 7-5 6-7(4) 6-2 smile
