Yes, good point : I make it that all the top 25 GB women will have double figures and be ranked in the top 1000 - kind draw or not, it's a BIG improvement . . .

Not quite - Daneika & Nik will drop off the rankings when their QF and Q+L16 points respectively from Woking last year come off, so I make the in-running GB nos 16-25 on 29 July:

19 Anna F
18 Manisha - in Woking R2
17 Laura D
16 Danielle K + anything she gets in Egypt this week
13 Fran S
12 Katie B - in Woking R2
11 Jessica S - in Woking R2
10 Sophie W - in Woking R2
10 Katy D
6 Sabrina B

A lot of changes though ... and if Harriet picks up another point, that will do it.

Damn - so close!

Thank you for that - hadn't noticed Danieka - shucks . . .

steven · Tennis legend

I wouldn't have bothered to check Daneika either if I hadn't noticed the <29 Jul - 14> on the table as the next score coming off - you don't expect a player on 16 points to be about to drop down to 2!

Not sure who else is close to getting back to an official ranking other than Harriet Dart now. Sophie, Hollie and Jessica both will be there from this week's tournament.
Any ideas if Harriet is due to play on the ITF tour soon?

Not this month - she's one of our two representatives in the European Junior Championships next week.

Tara beat Irena in 2008 and twice more earlier this year but the scores are getting closer, the last time it went to three sets.

She didn't enter the Woking event but her name is down for next week's event in Wrexham.

Jessica just broke Tara's service *4-3
Lisa 4-3*
Sophie 1-4*

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Both Tara and Lisa manage to get the break at the crucial moment and win their first sets 7-5

Sophie a hugely long first game, and finally got broken, and doesn't seem to have ever recovered - 1-6, 0-3

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Sophie loses 6-1, 6-0.

Tara and Lisa both going well, both a break up in the second.
