Great stuff. Really making moves on the doubles tour. Agreed that they should throw in a few more WTA events for the money and ranking points

Only just remembered to check on the result! Delighted to learn that it went the right way, though. biggrin

Very good !

While more WTA appearances will be good, I still see them mixing in plenty ITFs for now. Not say 25Ks, but higher value ones.

It is not as if they have been consistently winning 50Ks and above. As far as I can see they have "just" reached one 50K final and one 75K final, both won, from quite a few attempts, and the point hauls of 80 and 115 that they have earned from these titles are still very useful points. Last week's WTA final was great to see, but it wasn't a particularly strong field. They only started regularly competing above 25K level in April.

Maybe was a bit tongue in cheek the suggestion that ITFs were getting a bit easy :). But anyway just saying they are certainly not too good for ITFs ( well above 25Ks ) yet, but great if that time comes.

Certainly progressing well though :)

Although they are no longer the GB top 2 (Hev having overtaken them), Anna & Joss both make new career highs in today's rankings, up 4 at 110 and up 5 at 111 respectively. They are also now 24th in the Road to Singapore.

Spectator · All-time great

They seem to be well on the mark with their scheduling - more power to them! Super results, and great to see a GB women's team really come together.

I didn't mean they should leave ITF's behind it's just it's getting tot he stage that ITF's wont give them anymore points. They need to mix up WTA events with big ITF's

Joss and Anna should be playing 75K/100k/125k and weaker tour events until their ranking permits them to play higher.
