Still though decent effort, and further clear evidence that Sam is continuing to progress, top 300 should be attainable by yearend given no injuries.

Yes, I think that would be a good target for Sam.

Looking at her ranking points spread it won't come easily. She will now move up to 129 ranking points, which should take her to about WR 357. She has a pretty impressive consistency and her 16th best will now move up to 4 points. 13 of her 16 counters are from 4 to 9 points with her best three of 16, 14 and 14 coming trom Q and L16 of a 50K and two 25K QFs.

The current WR 300 is on 174 ranking points, so basically averaging about 11 points for each of her 16 counters. Therefore what Samantha really needs to do is get more double figures points scores, such as 25K QFs or L16 of 50Ks and above ( that's where Tara for instance has really scored in the second half of each of the last 2 years with a good number of double figure points scores ). I guess indeed 10K titles ( 12 points ) would help too, but I suspect she may want to concentrate more on 25Ks and above, where the possibility of one or two weeks of bigger points in the 20s and above is there, and that would really help her ranking.
