So Patrick Mour..... wasn't talking porkies when he said he was taking Laura to the qualies in Luxembourg. I suppose based on last years cut off she had a good chance of getting in but was very lucky she got a late withdrawal. I'm amazed Wolf spotted she was playing so well done to him.

Only 1 solitary ranking point for this win though which explains why alot of tour players don't bother trying to qualify for main tour events.

She appears to be quite sick as well which probably meant she was more worried about not throwing up on court than getting nervous at the crucial times in each set.

Yes, the points are as Shhh gives, so 6 points for winning Q1.

In actual fact when I have previously queried some of what I thought were strange women's ranking points, Peter too advanced the thoughts that the WTA seem to set qualifying and early round points to actively encourage players to step up to higher tournaments. And awarding 6 points here is that sort of encouragement, whereas clearly if it had been just one point then players would probably not be so encouraged.
