The Broadster beats Gacon 6-3 7-6 to give herself 34 ranking points and a final place.
Make that 35 points, after coming through qualifying. It would be great to make it 51 points though.
I wonder how often a final is contested by 2 qualifiers?
Both Naomi and Marta are due to be playing at Sutton, with them both high on the qualifying list. With qualifying starting on Monday, it's very unlikely that there will be any SEs, so hopefully both will make the main draw. Otherwise, it's going to be a struggle to get to Sutton for qualifying.
There are only 17 names on the main draw entry list for Sutton so both of them should be promoted from qualifying to main draw, being 2nd & 3rd. No need to worry about special exempts as there are no other tournaments this week except 10K events.

Comfortably beaten today (71 points to 49 with 1 breakpoint to 7) but arguably the best tournament of her career, if you compare the overall strength to Puebla (which she won)
