My hypothesis is that there is an easy ranking - one where your actual ranking is not indicative of your performance, rather the events you happen to have played in, whether by design or not.
You might start a new thread in entries and rankings, it'll get lost inside a tournament thread.
Hey, IF, if you do please post a link. I'm sure alot of us would be interested in your finding, and workings from your raw data to them.
L16: (2) Tara Moore WR 248 beat Kanae Hisami (JPN) WR 408 by 2 & 5
QF: (2) Tara Moore WR 248 v Shuko Aoyama (JPN) WR 354 (CH 308 in 2011)
Aoyama seems to be something of a doubles specialist - she is ranked 102 in doubles and has been top 80. Mel South thrashed her 1 & 2 in singles in May this year.

Good to see Tara find some form and consistency - Judy Murray has commented as much recently. If Tara can win her Quarter, in the Semi she'd play a qualifier ranked about double her own ranking. Hope that is good incentive.
Disappointing week again in Japan for the girls, though Tara increases her points haul. I had high hopes for both these grass tournaments, but it was all a bit of a damp squib.
Regarding my project, when I have enough data, and have worked out the best way to handle it all, I'll start a general thread, as per Miriambee's suggestion, and show my working, and provide links to the results and the data.
Getting some of the data is proving tricky/slow, so it's going to take some time though.
I've run some tests using large amounts of randomly generated dummy data, and in theory I can show the sorts of things that I want to. That is to say, I can handle and quantify the data meaningfully. Whether it ultimately proves my theories or not is an entirely different matter.
There's a lot of fine tuning and validation though, so I'll hold fire until the new year on announcements unless I make startling progress.
