R2: BEDDOW, Robyn (GBR) 972 lost to PRENTNER, Jeannine (AUT) 6 748 by 6-0 1-0 ret.

Robyn will, however, move into the GB top 20 on Monday, when there will be just 18 British women (and that includes JoKo) in the top 900 - I'm not sure whether that's because Sarah Borwell is diverting most of those you'd expect to be moving up through the 500-900 range to US colleges or something more worrying, but it's as low a number as I can remember. Conversely, the 31 GB men in the top 900 is the most I can remember for a long time.

It's unfortunate that we lost several girls for various reasons who might well have been inside the top 200 such as Naomi Cavaday, Anna Smith, Katie O'Brien and Georgie Gent(Stoop). They are all between 23 and 26 so could have had several playing years ahead of them.

I sent a tweet to Anna Smith last month and she replied saying she's still making plans for a comeback, although no date set yet.
