To be expected really. Didn't see much of her match at Wrexham, but she seemed a nice girl, but a little smaller and frailer compared to other tour players.

Those are last week's rankings, as is our usual convention for qualies - as I mentioned earlier, Ulvefeldt is now an even bigger rankings scalp for Lauren, have climbed into the 620s today

I just checked the doubles draw at Shrewsbury and no sign of Tara, so despite being at Shrewsbury(see tweet yesterday), it doesn't look like she is playing.
The Shrewsbury club site has a bit on Lauren's win today at http://ow.ly/oUJgD - both she and they talk as if she is going to be ranked for the first time but she has been ranked before. However, it was only for 3 weeks in June/July and she is now 'safe' until another counter comes off on 4 November.

Just checking : Does Lauren (and the other qualifiers) get 1 pt for qualifiyng and 1 pt for a first round loss (if they lose) ? i.e. a guaranteed 2 points ?
No, only the qualifying point ... but it does get added if they reach R2 (i.e. 9 points in total instead of 8) or beyond.
