Btw this win will add a net 4 points as at 4 November, which could be enough to take Jade into the top 300 - it's touch and go though, way too close to call.

Well she better make sure and win another round. smile

Exactly

... and hopefully 5th seed Brianti going out today (despite winning more games than her opponent) will help her cause a bit

suprised she lost that match, but her opponent seems to have found some form this week.

I think Jade may have found her ranking level(275-350 ranking) as she is winning one or two rounds of 25k's now.

It's been a very good year for Jade. Starting the year with a CH of WR 434, she is now verging on the top 300.

Be interesting to see how the next year goes, and I wouldn't rule out her further progressing into at least the top 250.

I agree. I wouldn't assume that this is her level just because it's where she is now. Or, more precisely, it's obviously her level at the moment but there's nothing to say that it will still be her level in a year's time.

As you say, Indy, she's been making good steady progress and there's lots to like in her game. She seems to have a good team/family around her too so top 250 next year seems a good goal. And top 200 the year after . . her lack of height and power is maybe not in her favour for much more but she's got a few years yet to reach her max (potential, I mean, not height - afraid that's written in stone now!).

She is also a good doubles player, the UK number 7 and inside the world top 200.
