L32: ELLIOTT, Amanda (GBR) Q 853 v (6) ZLOCHOVA, Zuzana (SVK) WR 481

Edit: oops, beaten to it wink

- I'll just leave in the L32 match since it has this week's rankings on it.

If Mandy gets the win, it will be only the second of her counting scores to be obtained from a win in an MD (the other being L16 Eschende 10k in August), and only the 3rd not to be derived from a DA/WC into a 25k+. In other words, all her 10 other scores are from losses, with currently only 2 (total 2 points) resulting from wins at any level. So a win should serve as a serious confidence boost in this context - cmon Mandy! Not counting chickens just yet tho...

I could hardly believe this until I checked, but you're right. For anyone else finding this difficult to believe, her counting scores are (tournament end date - tournament - type (K) - round - points - off date):

26-Apr-09	Changwon	25	L32	1	03-May-10
03-May-09	Gimcheon	25	L32	1	10-May-10
10-May-09	Fukuoka	50	L32	1	10-May-10
17-May-09	Kurume	50	L32	1	17-May-10
24-May-09	Nagano	25	L32	1	07-Jun-10
06-Jun-09	Nottingham	50	L32	1	07-Jun-10
14-Jun-09	Birmingham	Int220	qr1	1	14-Jun-10
05-Jul-09	Wimbledon	GS	qr1	2	05-Jul-10
26-Jul-09	Valladolid	25	L32	1	02-Aug-10
30-Aug-09	Enschede	10	L16	1	13-Sep-10
1ct-09	Joue-les-Tours	50	qr2	1	25-Oct-10
25-Oct-09	Glasgow	25	Q+L32	1	01-Nov-10
04-Apr-10	Jersey	25	L32	1	04-Apr-11

	Total points & no. of counting events			14	13

In the women's game, if you start off ranked high enough to get DAs into 25Ks/50Ks, you can have a really bad few months and still pick up a point each week.

I hope Mandy knocks her Zloch-ov...a

Shoot.

SMC1809 · All-time great

R1: Zuzana ZLOCHOVA (SVK) (6) defeated Amanda ELLIOTT (GBR) 6-2 6-2 cry

All those qualifying wins and nothing to show for it.

Sad, but better than anything else she's done in the last year in terms of wins gained! The road back is going to be a long one.
