Week 44 - ITF ($50K+H) - Nantes, France - Hard

Like Kyle in Traralgon, JoKo draws the 2nd seed in R1:

L32: Johanna Konta WR 141 v (2) Pauline Parmentier (FRA) WR 79 (CH 40 in 2008)

H2H 0-1 but very close - Parmentier won 7-5 in the 3rd on clay in Saint-Gaudens in May this year.

Edit: rankings updated

The draw here is almost as ridiculously overstuffed as the Osprey $50K after the first week of Miami each year.
$100K's are often less competitive, and quite a few WTA internationals too.

The New Braunfels, & Toronto $50K events this week are much kinder (For the higher ranked players swarming here, the +H only really makes a significant difference to the finalists points).

Not the draw you want when you're out of form and fitness is in question

At least no pressure being the underdog.

Jo's ranking has fallen quite a bit. Thought she was around 115

She more or less was was but the drop came in mid-September when her 80 Guangzhou WTA Q+QF points came off - she fell 15 places from 119 to 134 that week. An even bigger drop (from 90 to 123) came at the start of August when her Winnipeg 25K and Vancouver 100K title points (190 altogether) came off.

Well lets hope Jo gets her ranking back into the top 100 soon. She's more than good enough to be there
