Today's win is Farah's 3rd in 20 attempts on the ITF Pro Circuit - and will make her the last Brit to win a match in a WTA-ranked event in the 2013 season.

Tara might win in HK before the year is out.

Depends whether you count the end of week 52 as the "end" of the year, or Dec 31st (part of week 1 of 2014) as the end of the year.

Yes, a few players might win in 2014 week 1 events before the end of the month - that's why I said "2013 season" instead of just 2013. Though of course, in WTA-speak, we're already about 6 weeks into the 2014 season, so in a way even "2013 season" is wrong! wink

FQR: Farah Abdelaziz UNR lost to (q1) Aki Yamasoto (JPN) WR 807 (CH 325 in 2012) 6-1 6-2

(I think she's Farah ? Not Farel ? . . . . )

And she's got a WC into the doubles with Barbat from Denmark

Yes - I think I must have been trying so hard to make sure I wrote Abdelaziz instead of Abdulaziz that I transferred the "el" to her first name too - now amended above.
