L32: (WC) Isabelle Wallace UNR lost to Nicole Gibbs (USA) WR 159 (= CH) 2-6 2-6

 

Izzy's 1 point here will be her third point, won't it, and give her a WTA ranking ?

Indeed, Izzy will be ranked, well spotted.

I quite like the 3 scores for a ranking ( or 10 points ), but don't like the 1 point for R1 losses from 25Ks up, without and especially with WCs.

That's a funny coincidence - I've just been updating the best 16 tables and was annoyed with myself for missing that at the time (though tweeting she lost but will be ranked next week can make it sound a bit pathetic for the reason Indiana mentions!) but I didn't think I'd seen anyone else mention it on this thread up to the time I last looked a couple of hours ago

The other thing I noticed tonight (and had meant to check when she got her point) - Freya will return to the GB top 25 next Monday ahead of Sophie Watts, having been edged out by Fran at the start of this week.

 I think it should be 3 tournaments or 3 points.  I feel sorry for players like Jasmine A who have 7 points but no ranking and who end up miles down the alternates list compared to a player like Lauren McM who has a ranking but only 4 points.

In an ideal world, I think the girls should get a ranking after 1 point like the guys but that no points should be available until they have actually won a match!

I think it's great that we have some competition for the top 25 now and more and more ranked players.

It will also help Izzy, when she plays on tour as she will either make main draw or get seeded for most 10ks qualifiers now.

Yes, I completely agree about the points for wildcard losses - what's that all about ? It's almost as though you can 'buy' a ranking - just get your federation to give you wildcards to the right events and you're there.

I agree with The Optimist too - I don't really understand the minimum 10 points rule. I can see that the authorities might wants to insist that you've played in three tournaments but if you've played in three and got 6 points, 1 point and 0, why should you not be ranked ? When if you've played in three and three one-pointers you are ranked? Can't see the logic. ESPECIALLY when you factor in the wildcard one pointers.

Anyway, net net, I certainly don't begrudge Izzy her ranking - good news, may it help her going forward. And, if that's how the system works, why doesn't one of the 25ks give Jasmine a wildcard so she can get one too?

Yes, I do see the point about the 10 point rule.

At one time it was 3 scores period. I think it was introduced when you had such as Clijsters returning, getting a big score ( she may have actually won a tournament ) and being still unranked.

10 strikes me as maybe a nominal score, more thinking of the 'big players'.

But considered further, and how it effects the less gifted trying to get on the rankings, there really is a strong case that it should be as low as 3.

3 points in less than 2 tournaments means they have certainly won a match ( OK, could be lucky, but that can always be the case ), well presuming these are not from a Slam or Mandatory MD WC !

A break up now at 3-1 in the 2nd, hopefully Katie can push ons and take it into a 3rd set.
